Shadow vs Light

Shadow vs Light

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"

Intelligence vs wisdom

Is in the questions you ask people

A monster vs a warrior

Is in the reasons you make enemies

A parent vs a guardian

Is in how you treat your children

Virtue vs vanity

Is in how you pick your battles

A man vs a boy

Is in how you treat your losses

Arrogance vs humility

Is a thing I keep forgetting

Arrogance and ignorance are stand out traits amongst upper management in the construction industry. Seems the less you know the higher you get, promoting to keep them out of the way is the only logical explanation for their high wages and lofty positions.
Pigeons and statues, us the statues. They fly in, briefly, s**t on us from a great height then f**k off again, thankfully.
Morning, hope all is well.

This was kind of cliche just to be honest. There's no art in this, there's no beauty, feelings, this isn't even poetry. For just throwing words together, I suppose it was alright, but anybody could have wrote this. I want to read something that only an individual could have wrote. I understand this review is harsh, and probably isn't what you wanted to see, but I hope it helps!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by Richard.
Arrogance is not a bad thing. Misplaced arrogance is. The poem strikes a chord. We must be more introspective.

Enjoyable is only apt half the time. Two thirds if you're lucky.
What we are or how we behave sometimes requires conditioning or what could be called 'experience'.
No one gets it right straight out of the gate. Nice poem. Nuggets of truth.
