The stupid of themselves are so sure,
They think that none more than them is pure!
They live with their certainties false,
To all the wrong tunes they so gleefully dance!
They frolick in the garden of their folly,
They are so terribly smug, by golly!
They live in their world of make believe,
And so they themselves deceive!
The intelligent, on the contrary, are assailed by self-doubt,
That is why they often have to face uncalled for rout!
Their thinking becomes their soft spot,
They can not just blindly accept the prevailing rot!
Arbitrary binaries they can not ingest,
False certitudes they just can not digest!
On the stage of life where cocksure fools all around strut,
The wise stand aloof as they can not be a part of the rut!
