You Know It All! - Original Poetry

You sound so smart and you use big words,
you talk about the world being at crossroads.

You went beyond the common daily quest of wisdom
while most of us plunge in a delightful boredom.

You say you want to bring everyone up
cause life on Earth can`t be so fncked up!

You dream to get humanity out of its knees
but how do you imagine doing this?

You seem to be ready for this task, are you sure
it`s not about you wearing a know-it-all mask?

You look annoyed and bored by the simplest questions;
how can it be that you`re not even open for suggestions?

When challenged, the tone of your voice gets a higher pitch;
therefore, my friend, take a step back and check if there`s a glitch!

You doubt reason and expertise with no proof, but your own word;
anything one`d say, takes you from question to a verbal sword.

You can`t expect people to believe and take your word for granted
when you expose condescension; is this what you intended?

Relying solely on your knowledge with no demos, facts or tact
won`t help you reach or change the human mindset. No impact!

I don't know, I feel like those who call for awakening (unlike the type you've described which seems to vibrate at lower level of consciousness) will often encourage you to do your own research and not take anything for granted. Something we've been doing since forever, giving our trust to others.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on this topic. Yes, the call for awakening is always teaching us to do our due dilligence.

Yes, this is an excellent observation. The hubris of thinking one entity can make all of humankind better in some way. No human or group of humans can do that, because humanity is what it is. Hopefully those of us who do not want to make us all "better" can seize the day and stop the carnage that I fear is coming, caused by those who want to improve us.

I share the same hope. Things are moving so fast into the unknown that it is hard to predict the outcome.

I feel like I meet or cross paths with the person this poem is speaking to on a daily basis. I'm not sure why suddenly these people have come out of the woodwork - tossing out heavily biased opinions with nothing to back up their claims, standing on soapboxes, treating people who actually have verifiable facts with disdain. At any rate, you have captured the persona perfectly!

Thank you, Jayna! We all know someone who knows it all and needs no evidence to back his stories.
