Christopher Delegans Poet Couplet

Search Monster

One search and suddenly you know it all
A headline skim becomes your battle call

You take your C-plus effort and call it done
Strutting around convinced a war was won

Crowning yourself with knowledge never earned
A legend built from facts you never learned

Hollow thrones collapse beneath their weight
Shallow roots can’t hold a mind that great
