Read Poem: Four roads to Wisdom, by Lily Small

Wisdom is a gateway to health
Health may succumb to stealth
Stealth is a gateway to wealth
Wealth is a gateway to freedom
Freedom is a means of obtaining wisdom

Wisdom is a means of obtaining health
Health may succumb to stealth
Stealth is a means of obtaining wealth
Wealth is a means of obtaining freedom
Freedom beckons me to want wisdom

Wisdom beckons me to want health
Health may succumb to stealth
Stealth beckons me to want wealth
Wealth beckons me to want freedom
Freedom beckons me to want wisdom

Wisdom may transform itself into
health, stealth, wealth and freedom…
