A Wise Amongst Fools Is a Fool Amongst Wise

You can be the best brain
                                  Yet have to put on the guise
                          To behave like a bum and act like a novice.
                                    In the fraternity of fools
                                    Else, you can't ever rise
                                Lest you get disappointed later 
                                    To know this will suffice
                          A wise amongst fools is a fool amongst wise.

                                       You can be ignorant
                                And don't have to put on the guise
                                      In the fraternity of fools
                                       You can always rise
                                     For you to be confident
                                     To know this will suffice
                           A wise amongst fools is a fool amongst wise.
