Wisdom of the Ancients

As to the wisdom of the ancients:
Beware the Romans and the Greeks.

So says my artificial sentience,
the common wisdom of all geeks.

And as to why beware this wisdom…

Is it to coddle or appease them?
Those who would claim that it is spent
and we had better all repent?

Is there, perhaps, a different reason?
That having grown a bit too wise,
wants a monopoly — surprise!
on wisdom, as it plots its treason,
us none the wiser of the act…

Still thinking opposites attract.
