    Do you reach inside yourself
    And pull out all the wisdom
    Wisdom for any occasion
    On call when you need it

    Wisdom is fickle
    It is always available for giving
    Right at your fingertips
    and as clear as a landscape
    When other people need it

    Kind of like reality
    You can always see it
    The obvious writing on the wall
    For someone else dilemma

    But oh that wisdom
    Some how is escaping me
    The brains I use to function
    Can’t seem to find the wisdom
    Like a wall of graffiti
    When I need it

    Indeed, it is easier to give...
    than to receive.

    I think this is the best of your work you've posted here. It addresses larger issues, it's tight and coherent, and there's a sense of irony at the end that I like. Also, your command of language is stronger with this one. The lack of punctuation confused me, however ... did you intend to leave it bare of punctuation?

    Sometimes I get so caught up in the emotion of the words, I forget to puntuate or I don't pay enough attention to it. Not sure. Probably something I should pay more attention to though. Thanks!
