Smart By Fashion

I am not intelligent by fashion
But I am intelligent by birth,
The pseudo-intellect of the 
crowd
Makes ignorance look smart.

You see, fashion is a statement
It states the attributes of truth.
But when you look smart
Amongs your foolish peers

It makes the fashion look 
dumb;
And you, who think a little 
better,
Become a fashionable fool
You make the fashion look 
dumber.

This is to all pseudo-intelligent 
fools
Who think that they look cool
In glasses and  a fashionable 
suit.
