The Wise The Ignorant

ignorance is loud
wisdom is quiet

the ignorant tell
then follow the herd
the wise listen
then command

when the ignorant speak the wise yawn
when the wise speak the ignorant yawn

the wise think they are igno rant
the ignorant think they are wise

the wise are full of grace
the ignorant are full of disgrace

the ignorant are common
the wise are uncommon

the wise love to conserve and hate to waste
the ignorant hate to conserve and love to waste

what makes the wise laugh makes the ignorant cry
what makes the ignorant laugh makes the wise cry

the wise know how to turn themselves on
the ignorant ... only off

the wise are sensitive
the ignorant are senseless

the wise are still here
the ignorant are already gone
