Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

On the Scale of Things

On the scale of things,
I don't know much
About technology, politics and such.
Some affluent people think they know all,
And treat others as if they're fools
While some have no common sense
Out of touch, uneducated, dense.
Never the twain shall meet,
If they walk on opposite sides of a street.
The know-alls and the unknowledgeable,
The tolerated and the intolerable.
What trouble this brings,
As we all know nothing,
On the scale of Things.
