Blessed Are The Stupid

From scratching a living, 
    mighty civilisations rose.
The first idiot 
    to get on the back of a horse knows
more than all 
    the philosophers pontificating.

The stupid step forward 
    while everyone else is waiting.
Thankfully, 
    the smartest could never persuade
the foolish from all 
    the bad decisions they made.
