polemic trap

the classic problem of any discussion
those who don’t know formulate well
they sort out the saints and sinners
like a seasoned trader smells rotten fish

but those who know are tongue-tied
they chew on word salad
they are full of contradictions
and sound rather delusional

because true knowledge
doesn’t come with chain-reading
it plops onto your head
like a pigeon’s fresh droppings

and when you come to yourself
rubbing eyes while onlookers laugh
those ignorant stoned jerks
take over the world

  5. “because true knowledge

    I’ll never see knowledge the same way again. But this is true though.

    Also, many people these days do use word salad to appear “intelligent” or “knowledgeable” but they have no idea what they are even saying.
