Does one choose to be brilliant? <br />Or would they prefer to be more circumspect? <br /> <br />Do they select to be more profound and prudent? <br />With a discreetness they wish could be protected. <br /> <br />Is one of such consciousness, <br />Examining their own effectiveness? <br /> <br />Or... <br />Perhaps it is a possibility, <br />They are blessed enough to know... <br />What they have been bestowed, <br />They can keep to themselves. <br />With wishes not to share... <br />The disrespect others show! <br /> <br />To inspect on a kept scale of obnoxiousness! <br />Completed with an equal ignorance... <br />If one so declared brilliant elects! <br />Is it conceivable these are options, <br />Such a one with an awareness... <br />Gets and perfects, <br />To project objectively!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
