People of high intelligence,

It seems almost unfair.

Their capacity for logic,

They’re very self-aware.

 

Some that I’ve met,

Very egotistical.

Add in impatient,

Maybe despicable.

 

Don’t quickly get their point,

At you they’ll surely holler.

They don’t waste time,

They are problem solvers.

 

That line, I wish I was,

When brains passed out like theirs.

I wouldn’t be greedy,

Please, a pinch of the share?

 

But, in this wide world,

Takes brains of all kinds.

Some are simple ones,

Others, just great minds.

 

Look into their eyes,

Very deep and you’ll see.

Highly technical,

Cellular machinery.

 

I know that each of us,

Have our own intellect.

Is it the same under a scope?

Would you have to dissect?

 

Or, would it be apparent,

When they open their mouth.

           Could you tell right away?           

When their words came out?

 

If they’re not self-righteous,

I’ll stand close and see.

If some of their smarts,

Maybe rub off on me.

 

But if rude and self-centered.

The point for them to grasp.

Maybe borderline genius.

Or a sarcastic smart ass.

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    THANKS FOR SHARING ~ In my experience God gives us an IQ related to our Parents (Genes and heredity) this enables us to cope well in the environment we were born in. It's when we move out into the big wide World that we begin to feel out of place IQwise. The motto is "Live and die in your own Village !" BRIAN ~ Please check my poems thanks ~ B

            Thanks Christina! I appreciate that. I thought of changing Cellular Machinery to Cellular Circuitry, but my brain didn't work fast enough..haha. I like that name, Christina. Reminds me of my favorite cast member of Grey's Anatomy!

            Some folks I know have arms and legs simply to carry their heads around. Enjoyed.
