Actually

What is the point in ‘I told you so’

Being proven right only satisfies ego

If you wait on the sidelines graciously

I will apprehend truth eventually

 

All actions need not be wrong or right

They’re learning experiences in hindsight

Each opinion you hold is a point of view

Even Almighty gave the devil his due

 

This human tendency to give instruction

Attesting each argument and seeking attention

Does it stem from some superiority complex?

Or does insecurity inside augment the multiplex

 

Why do people think the size of their brain

Increases exponentially with age? It’s insane

Maturity has little to do with chronological age

Chronology cannot justify prejudice or umbrage

 

I don’t have to agree. I don’t have to impose

My beliefs are mine. And they can juxtapose

Even with my own self from a few years ago

I am an unending process, I change. I learn. I grow

 

That moment when I cease to learn anew

The time I decide I need not rejuvenate or renew

I am effectually dead, breathe though I may

Take offense. At least react to what I have to say!
