A message

You are far more intelligent than me

Surely you see that your very view is your end

Forever frozen in the rigidity of self righteousness

A narrow myopic view, you see as visionary

In your infinite wisdom the universe becomes invisible

Can your Newtonian perspective of the infinite

Predict the Quantum mechanics of emotion

Are you unable to see that both may be true

In this binary view

Is it possible that your inner insecurities

Are projected, turning love to hate

And your caring to blame

Can you see that we are all imprisoned

In our own solitary confinement

Where any visitations are transient

And escape is punishable

By summary execution

Can you not see the entropy of your end

Locked in a false algorithm

Toward a set purpose of implosion

Where all choices lead to isolation, suspicion and rage

Yes, rigidity of mind, in politics especially, is a dangerous thing, allowing for extremism on both sides.
...another "ism" like we discussed earlier.

Thank you so much for your read and comment

[jacob erin-cilberto]

those who do feel they know it all or have all the answers, your last line certainly applies to them.
Isolation in their own intelligence...
we can always learn new things no matter how much we already know.
real intelligence is accepting that we are human.
that is real intelligence.
and this poem is metaphorically briliant in its portrayal of such an individual.
