The most troublesome person
To deal with in life
Is that individual, who after reading
a Single book
Chapter and verse, first syllable
to last Punctuation!
Assumes
All the answers to existence, can
be found
In that Single book and all its depthless
layers
Meanwhile, those of us
Who have read a few books
Especially,
Books offering contrasting
Perspectives and opinions
On the same subject
Quickly, grasp
That all the libraries
in the world
Private and public
combined
Barely, begin to scratch
At the tapestry of life’s complexities
let alone
The wondrous, minutia of existence’s
simplicities…
