Analysis of wisdom
Holding death nearby in your own hands in which you start at the end.
beginning time will draw near.
Holding yourself to extinction, beginning.
The chanting wanting, the end tasting.
Bloody emotions of anger.
The line of love and hate.
The blinding craft of life in which death is rule.
Wanting knowledge to increase sorrow.
Wanting to ease the pain with material soul.
Wisdom is not knowing, yet, not knowing is foolish.
Trickling down the mountain top
flowing as wisdom that cannot be stopped.
