How do people know they know <br />Those things they are cocksure of? <br />Certainty does overflow <br />When acting so assured of <br /> <br />To be so right, most all the time <br />Egos ever sprouting <br />Know It Alls feel so sublime <br />Never ever doubting <br /> <br />Admitting errors, they rarely do <br />It’s just not in their makeup <br />They never think they misconstrue <br />Perhaps they need a wakeup <br /> <br />What is it in their mental scheme <br />That makes them act this way? <br />Pehaps it’s just low self esteem <br />That holds true facts at bay <br /> <br />So, Know It Alls, get off this track <br />We really know what ails you <br />Humility is what you lack <br />Your know-it-all-ness fails you<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/knowing/
