Tribute To A Masked Poet Poem by me poet yeps poet

Brilliance to Idiocy

between intelligence and lack of it

known as idiocy

there is but a hairline difference

as in a wise man and his wisdom

a madman's simple existence


I for one
most of the times
am inordinately intelligent

but in the OPAQUENESS
of cataract of both eyes
it seems like wise
an idiot
to some

intelligence, brilliance and idiocy

need to eventually compromise
else we all seem to be blind


Man inherits genes
some are good
some mean
but then where has one been
to bear the brunt of idiosyncrasy

no one can say
nor ask of me

Brilliance defines the capacity
of others assessment
so does idiocy
but then the two also define
the assessor
who so ever one may be

we all human beings

love to live free
