Notes About The Poem

" THE CROWN " MY PHOTO, ©

May be a closeup of African daisy and nature

Ignorance's Boldness

One should never be surprised

If he sees ignorance sitting on the throne of success

For it is knowledge's timidity and modesty

That allows incompetence to become so audacious 

As to insist authority's crown to possess!

Boy you sure said that right. It seems the squeaky wheel gets the grease and the loudest mouth gets the most attention. Great observance. Well done. God Bless, JB

Eventually they must fall from the throne. You speak truth paramount, Demetrios. Well said my friend. Bold color on your flower.

Yes, eventually they fall BUT before they do, they cause so much damage that we all suffer, my dearest friend, Vijay! Thank you for your kind visit and comment! Blessings.

Your wise words brought to mind many politicians in the uk who hide behind the veil of ignorance at the same time shouting out what a success they are. Hope you're well Demetrios. Tom

Not only in UK and not only in politics, my dearest friend Tom. Unfortunately, almost every field is occupied by ignorant or mediocre persons. Thank you for your precious visit and comment. Blessings! Take good care. I do the same with God's help.
