Smart and Wise

Smart and Wise He says she’s smart She says he’s wise Are they one of a part? Or just talking in soliloquy Em smart I am not Bad choice of word I am from the common lot Just a little wayward Em wise you can’t be That makes two of us I lost you and you lost me Em uncanny impasse “Smart” overly misused? Or just misunderstood “Wise” indiscriminately abused? Or just a stupid gobbledygook Two simple words Pretentiously complex But they are not that ***** Don’t be fooled or perplex Those two words easy to say But it sure hurts to hear People use them everyday With no clue or any idea Ah, there you go again Don’t agree with what I say I tell you I am not insane Don’t you understand; it’s so plain Smart and wise Two greatest taboo Like triad and vice They must be abhor Smart and wise Not words of truth Both words encapsulate lies Beguile and must be loathed Smart and wise They cause me much pain I hope everyone will realize And stop using them ever again Jit J.
