Poem Artwork

It's only the unwise man

Who is able to enjoy himself

At full blast; he never deflects

From his pursuit of sufficiency

As though a dog after its bone.

 

He accommodates himself

To the other men and never

Lose himself for one reason:

There is no place

Where he could lose his way.

 

He does not learn any lessons--

He only takes the ideas of others

Into his consideration;

He does not discard them

As different from his own.

 

In the sense, he is a genius,

The man of a great method.

Sounds like there may be come wisdom in the "unwise". John

I sense no genius in the unwise man. But I do see multitudes of them… Their children being readily added to the world population and contributing nothing except perhaps fodder for the war machine.
