Kimberly Larocca Poet Free verse

Know-It-All

I smile at the idiocracy 
of the notion that you believe 
you are all knowing

A fountain of wisdom from 
which all of us illiterate 
followers must drink from

I pity you because you will never know
how smart you could have been 
if wisdom had been allowed to grace
your presence

You hate me
because I refuse to live in your fool’s paradise
But
This is fine with me
My wisdom began when I realized
that you are the father of truths
that only suit your wellbeing.
