New poem: "Knowledge Seekers"

 

Knowledge Seekers

 

Certainty breeds pomposity,

and pomposity is hard to bear.

Not for the pompous, who are

so certain of their knowledge

they cannot see the affect they

have on knowledge seekers; but

for us. If pomposity is the price

we have to suffer to learn what

we need to know, then let them

be as pompous as they please,

and be grateful. That’s how I felt

about Nietzsche, Sartre, and

Lord Bertrand Russell.

 

Composed in Tiny Beaches,

Georgian Bay, Southcentral, Ontario
