Idiotic

Author's Note:
This is a poem I wrote to try and make people think of how they come off to others.

Some people just are not that bright
Some people think they know it all
Some people act like big oak trees
 For they seem proud--until they fall

Some people just do not re'lize
That acting smart is not act
They really think they what's right
For that, I say, is just fact

Do they really listen to the words
That they spit out of their mouths?
Do they even listen to the things they say
When talking in their house?

Though what I truly do not get
Is how people do not see
That idiotic behavior
Is most definitely a gene

But this 'special' type of people
Cannot honestly portray
The general community
Of our own world today

These people musn't understand
The way just how life works
We might do stupid acts
But the smart don't use stupid words

The wise may give you lessons
Such as 'think before you act'
But how many of us listen
And how many of us lack


Are we ignorant to what we speak
When speaking to our friends
Do we believe that certain rules
Have the right of being bent

Does our anger cloud our judgement
When deciding what to do
Do we ever grow out of things
We've adapted in our youth

Do we tend to side with others
Even when we know that they are wrong
Just because you're bias
Of their favorite type of song

The lowest form of idiots
Is not knowing that you are one
You might know who I'm mentioning
Though don't you tell just anyone

If we were all created equal
Then most of us are wasting brain cells
We do not give in to what is just
Or understand just how it felt

And if you have read to this point
You could be questioning your place
But if you comprehend this to here
Then I will say this to your face

You are either really wise or really dumb
Extremely smart or fairly stupid
Vastly knowledged or just ignorant
Or maybe you see right through it

Though do not take pity on these certain souls
For they have designed their own lives
Even if they seem to know
Less knowledge than a grade 5

If these narrow minded people
Could only view the entire scene
Then idiotic, stupid, dumb
Is not what they would be
