Does It Take Wisdom To Know

Does it take wisdom to know,
When a time has come...
To out live its purpose?

Does a crying child,
Do that out of hunger?
A need to be changed?
Or...
A need to be held,
And rocked to sleep?

Does paying attention compete,
With an ignorance fed...
That should be placed,
On a much needed diet!

Does a riot start because people are upset?
Or...
Are people like this just militant mavericks?
Using this way to express their happiness.

Does it take wisdom to know,
When a time has come...
To out live its purpose?

Well...
Wouldn't that depend on 'who' wishes to go backward.
And who refuses to move from the past.
With a convincing done to themselves,
That God and Mother Nature are just myths...
And scientists created humanity,
With the rest of the man made mess that misfits!
