A Poem on Dealing with Condescension
The best response to condescension is patience. Fate will do the rest. - Michelle
************************************************************
"Oh my, do tell, I lack the smarts
To learn the truths you hold
Your genius shows, it's off the charts
A shame it scars your soul.”
**********************************************************
“You drone on, I sip my drink
As your jaded wisdom flows
And fate steps in--oh, wouldn't you think!
The drink goes up your nose!

lol, pretty good. Anyone in particular this directed at?
Know-it-alls really do seem to have scars on their souls. Beautifully imagined.
Hehe, coffee up your nose. And yes patience is always the key. Rich words.
Wisdom is always balanced by naivety, because in the end, it is always God who emerges victorious. A very artistic depiction of the alternation of the eternal psychological states of man.
