Wisdom Lane

Just take a seat and listen
to stories you’ve been missing.
They’re found upon a high plane
and only taught at Wisdom Lane.

A guy who came from way back-
He traveled down the wrong track
and hopped aboard a dark train
that sped right past old Wisdom Lane.

And later during that year
the courtroom filled with his fear.
The judge’s sentence was plain.
He sent him back to Wisdom Lane.

There was a politician
some thought was a magician.
The tricks he pulled were in vain.
They weren’t learned on Wisdom Lane.

With nothing he could achieve
and nothing under his sleeve
his people had to complain,
“What were his grades at Wisdom Lane?”

And what about that pop star
who took her lyrics too far?
The problem was her refrain
was out of tune with Wisdom Lane.

She craved too much attention.
Her clothes were often mentioned.
Her ego could not contain
the notes she took at Wisdom Lane.

You can’t just blindly follow.
Some people are so hollow.
You’ve got to use your own brain-
The one you filled at Wisdom Lane.  

Hope you have learned a lesson.
Some things are just worth stressing.
The insight that you can gain
is only found at Wisdom Lane.

(When two opinions collide,
you’ve got to look at both sides.
Before you pick who’s more sane,
go take a walk down Wisdom Lane.)
