Funom Makama Poet Acrostic

Ignorance

In darkness, the mind comes short
Gullible to any item offered, and
Not an excuse for self underdevelopment
Obnoxious in the gathering of knowledge
Rationality greatly fractured and invalid
And then lost in the puzzle of understanding
Never near a sound judgment, because it
Cannot sieve random information which
Ends with a sense of powerlessness

Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck May 20, 2015 at 10:02 AM See, now this is brilliant and concise, accessible and hilarious, yet edgy. You could deliver this as something close to stand-up comedy, where we all get to laugh at our collective habits of ignorance. So, now, what do you have for WISDOM? Funom Makama February 3, 2016 at 9:43 AM Thank you so much Gerald... Check my acrostics out, there is a spot for "WISDOM"
