Intelligence is a powerful tool;
It teaches us how to get things done.
It helps us operate machines,
Reason with logic,
And even master the art of manipulation.
It does not ask
What impact an action may bring.
Whether someone falls or even dies,
It worries not about the consequences.
Wisdom distinguishes
What is right and what is wrong.
It applies thoughtful judgment,
Examining every action
Before revealing the truth.
Intelligence can devise
Cunning schemes and clever tricks.
It fuels hatred and resentment,
Pulls others down, stabs with betrayal,
And poisons the atmosphere.
It finds solutions to problems
And keeps inventing new skills.
Yet it seldom cares about outcomes,
Whether they lead to welfare
Or to destruction.
It teaches how to earn wealth,
By whatever means one chooses.
Wisdom, however, points us
Toward the honest path
And the righteousness of integrity.
Intelligence sharpens arguments
And wins debates with ease.
Wisdom teaches the value of silence
And shows how to preserve relationships.
Even in the world of media,
Intelligence may teach clever strategies.
Wisdom reminds us to speak and act
Without causing hurt to anyone.
Intelligence is a powerful instrument;
Wisdom is the mind that guides it.
Only when the two remain in harmony
Does the destiny of a society
Awaken and truly flourish.
