Anti-Intellectuals

A poem inspired by the pompous speeches from Sarah Palin and Sean Penn.

I 'm intellectually superior
you're mentally inferior
I m all knowing
You are not knowing
Everything I say is the truth
Everything you say is false
Eveyrthing I do is right
Everything you do is wrong
I'm self-righteous
You're full of vices
I'm egotistical
You think with your testicles
I'm open minded
You're closed minded
I'm good
you're evil
I believe in God
You don't believe in God
I'm an intellectual
You're  bi-sexual
I'm on a top level
You're at the bottom level
I'm an angel
You're the devil
I'm horny
You're suppressed
I'm happy
You're depressed
I'm sane
You're insane
I love sex
You wait until marriage
I'm straight
You're gay

I got laid

You masturbate
I'm smart
You're not
So what do you have to say?
Nothing. I don't care anyway.

Hello daniel
This is perfect awakening and social study in verse form!
You see - what is to blame is dualistic concepts and the vertical hierarchy.

Elite groups have power to make opinion and sell it as the absolute!
But there are no absolutes.
Their failures we know by chance when the lack of emails emerges their lies, greed and false personal morals.

Well done. My new favorite of yours!

Sharply written, contrasts so vivid, and the pace just quickens as one reads down the page... Brilliant and superior!

Oh, wow. That was pretty much amazing. I doubt there is anything that could be done to make it better because it's already amazing. Nice job :)

[O!]

Who cares!

[Nicole (Carpe Diem)]

interesting combination of subjects for this piece.. but it worked well... fantastic!

Very nicely done. Whether or not I agree with one person or the other, the bickering between the two is still nonsense. I love the way that for each point there is an opposite point from the other side. Definitely read it more than once. :)
