There is genuine lack of understanding
No matter how brilliant a mind is
How much education one has received
Or regarded as a genius
That intelligence has absolutely
Positively and undeniably
Nothing to do
With wisdom
Such that an uneducated janitor
May be one thousand times
Perhaps ten thousand times
Wiser than a Nobel Laureate
But such is the mind of a fool
Who can solve quantum equations
At the forefront of science
Yet unable to understand wisdom
Unable to accept that which cannot
Be understood by human thought
Trying to discern life
By thinking
Until death comes knocking
Dying without understanding
Relying on what their intelligent mind
Or other so called smart people
Have concluded without proof
To the end unable to admit
That they know nothing
About life
Hoping for nothing
Yet fearful of something
That something they have rejected
All their life
