Ugly Truth

 Childish....

                   immature...

                                     BUT grown up?

                                                      Old in age...

                                                                        young at heart

 

                                                                                             Smart in mind...

But dumb at  life? 

Understand yourself before you think you understand others

Maybe then you will at least understand LIFE.

Dumb at life - that kinda hits hard. I think no matter how much we grow, we only get a little of what life really is, and as I like to tell myself 'the day we truly get to know is the day we die.' It's an ongoing process. I do agree in general though, if we even tried a little bit of understanding ourselves, maybe it wouldn't give us much time to judge others.
Ugly truth indeed but so aptly said. Very thought provoking for me. Nice to read you again, JayDee :)

Hmmm. There are many who are dumb at life as I have discovered. Common sense is in short supply in this world.

An interesting short piece of contrasting thought.

JayDee,
Your poem capture's most people's path in life. While some may be dumb at life most are trying to learn from their mistakes. Thought intriguing poem.
Peace,
