I love the way you have penned this poem, it is hard to be smart and try not to show it, because others will resent and turn on you for it. They are intimidated by people who are smart and allow it to be known. Einstein said that Imagination is more important than knowledge - is that being smart? I have also read that a genius is a person who knows he does not know everything, therefore continually thirsts for knowledge. Ordinary people may think they know it all and actually know next to nothing. It can be very confusing at times, ridiculous also, but I think with a sense of humor, being smart can be fun. Just my impression. Thank you for this thought provoking poem. As I was reading your poem, it seemed that the rhythm was taking me quickly through your thoughts as if I was running to keep up with them. Definitely a unique and interesting poem, I love it.

My only bro is a genius, but he has great humor for persons who do not understand him fully, or respond his speech in a wrong way, he understands them exactly what they wanna say. My bro is never irritated. He has told me all these things when we still were kids

See? I looked at it. I think it's over my head. Got lost after the sparrow. But still. Don't know why you'd assume ridiculous things if your that smart. nevertheless. I digress.

This poem has such an honesty of expression that it is inherently very smart piece of work! What a smart discovery it is to understand and manifest that it is hard to be situationally smart all the time!

One of the things I learned... It's so hard to be a genius... You'll either die early or become a crazy old fool... so it's better to be just subtly smart! Nice post!

Candidly and self-reflectively written; mentally original with gripping suggestions and insinuations. Indeed, wisdom begins with self-knowledge, and only the 'innocent eyes' see clearly. Great job!

Anything worth smart is hard. That is why I read your words. To get smart from what is cleverly hard. :)

one can be smart if one knows how to dig further to be smart.
