Ignorance and Intelligence

Ignorance and Intelligence

A Poem by realmwriter

Ignorance and intelligence, you can't have one without the other.

Ignorance is to temper intelligence so as not to be seen as an arrogant Mother......

Intelligence is usually best left in the pretty little package it comes in.

And oh my, yours is rather beautiful indeed.

But oh what whit one does with, when first the blade is dull.

To carve a tale from air and nails, to fall victim to your woes.

Oh what anger at first we bread, with a razor as sharp as our knows.

Over time, what ones knows goes into the void, let slip the sail and spark a thought.

Imagination all for not, for nothing if but only to be bought.

Never mind the bounty of the sea when the water is frozen in the ice.

Never mind the hilarity, when sadness won't play nice.

Gun me down for stupids sake, I'll rise to take your fall.

For when first I stand my ground, I will take you all.

So dull your knives, blunt your points, let nothing bother thee.

Every mind has its own spark and intelligence knows better than to sharpen me.
