    Poem Commentary

    Sometimes you just meet people who think they know it all, who are truly arrogant and like making other feel dumb in comparison.... On such person angered me in early spring of 2010

    To One Who Knows Everything

     You, who knows everything
    Can you tell me why we try?
    Can you speak what your truth says
    And break down your fabulous lies

    And tell me why
    And tell me how
    And tell me now

    For I haven’t the patience to wait for you
    To explain your cryptic ways to me
    And I haven’t the time to hear your babbles
    Of all the world’s greatest mysteries

    So will you tell me lies?
    Or will you tell me truly?
    If you even know honesty

    You speak as though sophisticated
    You speak as though you know
    And all the facts that say you’re wrong
    You carefully, considerately forgo.

    So ask me to go
    If I’ve offended you
    If my words are too true

    Now. You, who knows everything
    You, who’s wisdom river overflows
    Throw back your petty esoteric disguise
    And show us what you know

    And let your words glow
    Proving them truly wise
    Or is it all just petty lies?

    You speak of one who speaks for many giving all a chance to siv and hear...and plenty many of who's annoyed with all the ego overload...their joy is not but little specs...of irritant fumbles...through mind it wrecks...though truth and lie are allies bright in ventures toward a compromise...I sigh at all the bitter despise and ask you back do you think you wise? I sigh and leave to compromise your answer...surely is but a lie...though truth is how you combat lie...though liars print definitive tries...and still retort I call them lies...and back they go to snivel and cry.

    Lies are but false understanding of truth, for either the liar or the listener, and sometimes, indeed, both. There is no claim to wisdom within this write, wisdom only comes with knowing how little you actually know... and I know too little to know how little I know. So, to the alliance of Truth and Lies, I must leave to higher judgement. I say what I see, and try not to take any part of lies' distasteful nature, instead trust in my own mind to make a truth judgement, and do not try to change the judgement of another. So, you ask me back, do I think myself wise? No. I do not. I think myself a poet. A mere child, who has seen wisdom in some... and false wisdom in others. And 'tis they, they I speak to...

    Anger can be a great muse . . . until you try to pen a sonnet. But I bet you can do that one, too. Harv

    Ha ha I saw the title and thought it was about me. Then I read it and found out... it was (X D) I am, however, miraculously unwounded. We hot air types have the power to hear what we want and dismiss the rest as background noise ha ha that's what makes us so loveably irritating : D

    I forgot to mention that the hot air permits us to float above the fray : D

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
