SOME VERSUS SOME

On stupidity, arrogance, and narrow-mindedness.

Some wear stupidity like a badge


Some display arrogance like a medal


And some sport narrow-mindedness like an emblem


 


Luckily, some can notice the badges of stupidity


The medals of arrogance


And the emblems of narrow-mindedness


 


God gave some the wits to tolerate the stupid


The common sense to eschew the arrogant


And the perceptiveness to circumnavigate the narrow-minded


 


Nevertheless, some are forever stuck with the stupid


Some are sadly saddled with the arrogant


And some are cruelly asphyxiated by the narrow-minded

I have enjoyed the reading of "SOME VERSUS SOME". A true analysis of the human weakness in a poetic-philosophic outstanding composition.

In admiration,

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
