...empty well.

...empty well.

A Poem by Huw

Young people with serious issues

telling others what to do

Pretending everything smells

of roses in the garden

while everything is rotting.


Others asking questions

that are answered by those

who don’t really understand

paying complements instead

of giving sage advice.


Would you ask a blind 

man for directions?

Would you inquire of 

an infant for knowledge?

Would you seek financial

advice from the destitute?


If my questions sound stupid

yours are more so to me

Tell me why you seek

wisdom from the ignorant

why you try and draw

water from an empty well?

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
