Great Minds

See the worldly wise attract
A cult status of tact


There is a vain voice lurking
Dazzle of windy stroking


So much to say with little
Funny, boring and brittle


Great minds with sizzle sparkle
Not much to purge our troubles


Today is not yesterday
Past glory cannot fit play


Come let us purge such lame tales
Look deeper as plots unveil


See the solution truly
In the problem most clearly


To run away can be fun
Warm sun can warm unused pun


To think alike in brisk flirt
Until death remodels dirt


Soar through the sensuous seasons
Purge all vainglorious reasons


See the wisely worldly talk
Lucky steps in tiny walk
