Notes About The Poem

" GOVERNING THE WORLD "

Musing: Do Not Wonder

Wise people know that they know nothing.

Erudite people doubt that they know many things.

Ignorant people are certain that they know everything.

Now,

The first category of people refuses to rule, and

The second is reluctant to do so,

It remains to the third category to govern the world,

Therefore

Do not wonder, my friend, why humanity in such a mess

We find!

Arturo Michael June 30, 2021 at 7:34 AM The first two sound a bit irresponsible, Why would they allow the third to rule? A thought-provoking piece. Congratulations Demetrios Trifiatis on POTD.
