Wisdom is freedom, knowledge, power.
Wisdom is beauty, fortitude, love.
Wisdom is attainable for all, Useable for all.
Wisdom can be excepted or rejected,
Used or abused.
Wisdom is not yes, but no,
Not when, but if,
Not given, but taken
Wisdom is the power to be who you want to be.

This was actually a school assignment, but I liked the end product so much I decided to go with it and expand it, and this is what I ended up with.
