Stupid Geniuses.
_________________

I'm sure there
are a lot of
Stupid Geniuses
out there...
who use their
intelligence
for dumb and
selfish reasons..
to accelerate
Negative Causes,
or Pointless
Endeavors which
serve no means
to an end other
than the fickle
entertainment of
a Moment...
to pass time idly
by like Wanderers
in a Fruitless Land
not worth stopping
For.

Just as I'm sure
many of them
(in their cold
states of reductive
logic) are
endowed with
The Cruelest
Form of Madness..
Madness of a
Kind which is
So Self-Aware
that the concept
of Self Drives
them Insane with
A Desperation to
Escape that Awful
Prison.

Wondering and
Dreaming seem
more preferable
than to KNOW
with Certainty
Everything
that something
is, or Is Not..
For in Dreaming,
and Wondering,
Ones Imagination
is Set Free to Soar
Unique possibilities
which Certainty
Enslaves..

The Dreaming
Geniuses are
Liberators...and
the proverbial
"freemen of
that Whole Estate"
mentioned by
Older Men of
Letters who were
in their own
Fashion Slaves
To Ideals
like Everyone
Else..

Such Dreamers
can still crack
a Smile at Life's
Absurdity, and
make Others
Smile without
Knowing Why..

and when
The Smiles
Become A
Common
Affliction
shared by
Every
Slave?

(perhaps this
Land will be
Fruitful again.)
