People talk about
Good education
Good schools
The importance of reading
Writing
And studying
Some read ceaselessly
Countless pay top dollar
To get into and go to
Top universities
For some a life long dream
To go to Ivy League
Indeed a commendable
And proud achievement
To become a doctor
A lawyer or any professional
Career that usually garners
Top income
But no matter how great
An education
How prestigious the alma mater
Or famous in his or her field
No matter how high the test score
Library of books read
Equations solved
Inventions created
No matter how outstanding
An individual is in every respect
With fifty pages of resume
A fool will remain a fool
Without wisdom that
Cannot be attained or bought
With all that hard work
And money
Or else how can one explain
So many well educated
Rich and famous people
Do so many foolish things
Without foresight or wisdom
Only a fool would be so proud
And act as though
Because he drives a car
He is a racecar driver
