Twenty and six

Twenty and six

A Poem by Mabojang

Now I am six and twenty,
And I now know close to nothing,
When you ask me a simple inquiry,
I respond with easy unquestioning,
But ask me friend about importance
And my eyes will blaze and spark,
Then my inner self that slept before
Will brag like an archer hitting his mark.

I think to realize that you know nothing is to know, if not everything, then at least quite a few things ;)
This is indeed a poignant write which hits the reader hard especially the last lines. "brag like an archer hitting his mark" I love this comparison!
Well penned, M :)
