Being Put Down

Many who do not understand things,
will surely find a way to put them down.
They will demand you to listen to their reasoning.
Meanwhile most of it, 
you laugh at because,
it has no meaning.
At times it is almost like they are preaching.
True teachings though are never said in vain.
They are said for the main reason,
of learning something new!
They are also taught, 
for you,
not to repeat more onslaught of your soul.
Do you think you have the control,
to listen to those who are wise?
Or will you simply think it is all lies,
which sooner or later that will be 
your demise.
