Beyond the 'T'

Have you ever engaged in a battle of semantics?

By Skyler SaundersPublished 7 years ago 1 min read
Does it, though?

The “t” in egotism is a place

For improvement. Egoism is a

Radiant producer with a clean face.

Egotism is a lie in a way.

The lettering is so close that one could

Make the error of saying that the words

Are twins. One might only think that they should

Flock together like the same kind of birds.

Even the best mind in two thousand years

Erred. She can be more than excused from all

Scrutiny and finger pointing and jeers.

Her credibility stands far too tall.

The knowledge of the difference ought to

Inspire those who lack the slightest clue.
