A sophisticate's throw down is coming around
obnoxious raving for truth
Sheets of glass lay across the body
when I look I only see
T R U T H is a C O N C E P T
an extra ordinary idea
with rhythm or stanza
sometimes coming with both
Sheets of poetry lay across my hand
when I read I only understand
If the biology of our bodies
would only stop going so fast
would it be so easy to fix
could the confidence in men
be mended?
The sophisticates and the idiots
not so different and can be both
to know the difference and lay
down a vote is too much to ask
It's been broken and the reputation
is made so clear, I could never trust
someone like you, I could never trust
Your truth is a concept
and my truth is clear
arrogance is a commodity
it's going off the shelf
everyone is wearing a plastic coat
and the rain is not out
this is all my coincidence
or accident, it's this fact not known
Sophisticates and idiots
literate and not
it may be the same
thinking critically and loud
Who's got the mega phone?
Who's got the big sign?
Who's got the wallet full?
Who's got the crowd?
Sophisticates and idiots
and the stupid politics
and the waltz goes on and on
Author notes
I wish you had the internets so you could tell me how dumb this is. I'm perfectly capable.
This is Really stupid.
