Small Minds, Average Minds, Great Minds

Small minds people’s frailties deride Drawing comfort and report Although average minds decide Events to discuss in their effort To imitate great minds Who ideas and ideals discuss Upfront and behind blinds Where they fuss On humankind greatness Buried into ideas Whose robustness Fears Nothing as they step forward Swimming against the tide Where a mediocrity coward Draws succor and pride Arguing it ain’t worth His trouble to explore the rigour Gems of superior ideas bring forth In the vigour Great minds inject into prospects Humankind ought to explore In mediocrity suspects Whose forte lies in the arcane methods folklore Promotes In the business as usual attitude Which demotes The forward thinking latitude which gratitude Bestows on the progress path Littered with trials Feminist Sylvia Plath In her deluge dials Dreamt of in her poems Where she explored ins and outs Lying inside and outside totems From which greatness sprouts Undaunted by criticism Rebuke Sarcasm and cynicism Which lie in the puke nuke Super Powers in their ubris Flaunt Between the Euphrates and Tigris To taunt Prospects of humankind survival As a fallacy Whose conjectured arrival Throws spanners in the Super Power delicacy bereft of mercy.
