Intellignce

When did intelligence to have,
Become a birthright of entitlements.
As minds of many,
Seem afraid of using common sense.
And unable to grow to restrict to limits.

Isn't knowledge to obtain it,
A nonstop activity?
Isn't wisdom to achieve,
An unending of lessons to earn receive?
With each step tested.
Before the next is accepted.
Approved and believed.

Is not life blessed to live it,
A series of ongoing tests.
Isn't a knowing anything questioned,
Confronted by someone who objects?

Is it wise to say someone has wisdom?
Yet...
Common sense to witness displayed,
Is delayed to appear to hear it heard.
Although,
Live we do in times to 'assume'....
Anyone dressed as if intelligent,
And uses pretentious rhetoric.
Religiously repeated continuously.
Nothing more but image given matters!
