The Very Wise Only A Few

The boys of the fifties and sixties are the aging grandparents of today
But it does not mean a fellow is wiser though the years have left his hair looking gray
Yes some as they age do not grow wiser one must wonder why this must be?
On the way that the human mind works psychologists cannot agree
Through the decades I've known many people and of the many a few that are wise
Though I too am one lacking in wisdom of which I have come to realize
With age I have not grown any wiser though in that I'm not in a minority
There are millions all around the World quite lacking in wisdom like me
One cannot buy wisdom with money it is something one cannot buy or sell
Many wealthy people not insightful though financially they do quite well
The not so wise are in majority and the very wise only a few
In saying that I am stating a known fact and that is not saying anything new
The boys of the fifties and sixties are aging the clock on our lives ticks away
But few of us grow old and wiser does that seem a fair thing to say?
