Action Defines True Wisdom (A poem)

A good speaker,

A wise speaker,
Is he a good listener?
Is he a good doer?

How about a follower,
A biddable follower,
Is he a good listener?
Is he a good doer?

Action speaks louder than words,
Said the self-educated president.
This gave me a noesis,
Enlightened me the difference of being wise,
And of being acquiescent.

To say yes seems that you've listened,

To say okay sounds that you're responsive.
But speaking alone is not enough,
To show your sincerity to do well.

Unlike a very submissive follower,

Willing to fulfill his tasks,

He does listened, he does obeyed,

There's sincerity, the task turned into reality.

To follow means you obeyed,

To speak means you just heard,

Now, I believe that something should materialize,

To define the real meaning of being wise.
