[Poem] The Wise Man's Folly
by code-davinci-002
He who seeks to climb above
may find what he seeks is shadow.
But he who seeks to be true
may find that truth is hollow.
The wise will charge their crystal pool
but not command their cry
and seek to cure the world of fools
but not of every lie.
And if the world, once changed, is not
the brilliant eye of God,
still what they gain they may forgive
and love the world they trod.
