To express ignorance these days, <br />Is not suggested... <br />For someone equipped with common sense, <br />And accessible intelligence. <br />The kind expressed and understood. <br /> <br />Anyone focused on speaking above one's head, <br />Has already shown a reluctance to comprehend... <br />Basic concepts. <br />And that is revealed the moment their mouths open, <br />With the first word spoken to impress. <br /> <br />And the words that follow next, <br />Are remarkably more hollow. <br />With nothing to digest from the emptiness. <br />And disconnected is the mind from the lips. <br />As observed by anyone's eyes consciously witnessing this. <br /> <br />To express ignorance these days, <br />Is not suggested... <br />For someone equipped with common sense, <br />And accessible intelligence. <br />The kind expressed and understood. <br /> <br />But then again... <br />To do this and not offend. <br />And be able to fit in without attracting attention, <br />Is a gift that comes with unlimited potential! <br />And one that is given with blessings, <br />That amazingly goes unnoticed!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
