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
