folklore passed through ears
of generations by word of mouth
myth and beliefs generated a
system of those who believed
truth was spoken and it to be
traditionally customary to
continue mythical methods of
story telling where the truth lies
in wait as to pop out of a cake
Happy Birthday make a wish
blow out the candle sticks
may you get what you wish for
the knowledge lies in the
symmetry of the metaphor
to illustrate a moral or teach
a lesson comparing one thing
to another otherwise not spoken
like fables of talking animals
speaking moral sense in a
apologue of events where
a tortoise beats a hare in a race
we learn to move at our own pace
without stopping along the way
we learn the tortoise has strong legs
we learn it's not about a turtle
and a rabbit we learn how to
win the race it teaches us not
to give up even when the odds
are stacked against us it's a truth
about the underdog a predicted
loser in a struggle who wins
triumphantly usually causing
an upset in those who bet on
the swift to win the race it all
boils down to knowing how to
do something smoothly and
efficiently in order to achieve
competitive advantage

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY The Immortal Wize
Drop Ityou can't carry weight on your back without backaches and back problems a back ain't meant to carry weight  |
PullI want to give you a reason to take action I want to influence you to do something you inherently love to do more than likely something you always been eager to do but probably too scared to I dare you to inspire you to succeed beyond your expectations I don't know who you are but you do "don't you" |
WhenceI remember a time a forgotten time a time no one remembers a time we all forgot to remember |
Got A FeelingLove Supreme wrote "we told the world" think about that for awhile take a sip swallow digest we talk to the world and we don't know who in the world is listening and we don't care who hears we are poet's we are fearless given a platform to speak enter most thoughts and feelings the inner seed the energy the frequency a vibe nation of vibration no sleep nor slumber awake to be in that number of griot's who refuse to be robots "we told the world" that we are the word personified |
First Lady Of Song (02162025)Ella was a young girl when she stepped on the Apollo stage wearing shabby clothes opened her mouth and stole the show it goes to show don't criticize the house until the door swings open and you hear what comes out |
A Quick Breeze (02162025)let's have a memorable moment we can talk about anything accept the gloomy weather pour it in a glass sip slow blow smoke smoke out the window send thoughtful signals into the ethers |
Brush Off (02162025)the thought of this is not pleasing to my mind though I dig deep to find a reason to reach an agreement the bottom line is I cannot accept or consent to issues that don't concern me |
Pockmarks (02162025)the congratulated isn't necessarily celebrated a savior is never appreciated the people are too fearful to protect em they'll reject em to save their own skin a leader is only followed to a certain point a hero ain't nothing but a fool it takes a joker to point it out to you the game being played is serious the fix is in for the gambling addictive change the world is a on going mission save the world is a impossible one mans devices is not new inventions the future outcome is a major decision destroy to rebuild is a noble suggestion |
Pockets Of Change (02162025)will we see shine tomorrow will sun appear how long will it rain when will the clouds disappear will we ever see sky again imagining a time before life got pushed inside told to stay behind the door don't come out no more to see what it's all about got a glimpse of the moon didn't have to see the whole glow to know it's full the lunar phase is clear it's a waste of time to wait for a certain kinda energy to reappear out of nowhere when its always been here |
The Loop In The Wireit's about you it's about me it's about us it's about we it's about time to stop the beef and the strife why must we fight by the stripes on our back against the ropes the least to be free we get no slack we claim they not like us when we don't like our own we go to war in our home casting stones the builder refused we come too far from when we had pride weak inside from blood we lost and continue to lose we blame them but how come when it's you when it's me when it's us when it's we in God we trust God speed is a must to save you to save me to save us to save we from self induced poisoning |
