We all want our hopes to be foresight

but fear we'll discovery in hindsight

the hopes in our heart

from wisdom depart

with hope left alone in our hindsight.

"What's right" we all hope to be "wise,"

but sometimes "what's right" isn't "wise,"

and sometimes what's "wise"

is "wrong" though it's "wise"--

when that which is "right" is unwise.

In Seventeen-Seventy Six

the course that our Forefathers picked

was foolish, not "wise"--

Twas "right" but "unwise"

to make "Independence" their writ.

The standards by which we decide

when choices are "wise" or "unwise"

are diff'rent, of course,

from charting a course

t'ward "right" 'stead of "wise" or "unwise."

That challenging odds is unwise

does not make it "wrong" to have tried.

Indeed, it is "right"

to lose against "might"

when yielding, though "wrong," may be "wise."

A fireman who dies when he tries--

despite odds that make it unwise--

to save someone's life

is not "wrong" but "right,"

but why is it "right" though "unwise"?

Non-theists and theists alike

find much common ground in what's "right":

The value of "Life"

and "Liberty" rights

are standards for knowing what's "right."

Such values can help us envision

when "right" yielding "unwise" decisions

in short-term perceptions

but long-term reflections

by hist'ry will judge them as "wisdom."

In history's long-term upheavals

at imperfect "good," perfect "evil"

brings chaos with ease

while "good" must proceed

as though it were threading a needle.

And critics of imperfect "good,"

who think perfect good is a "could,"

naively contend

the means to the end

of evil must be perfect good.

Demanding amidst such upheaval

perfection in threading the needle

by imperfect good

is conduct that should

be viewed as advantaging evil.

In judging the ultimate wisdom

of flawed or imperfect decisions

in threading the needle

against perfect evil,

perfection's not equal to wisdom.
