Ignorance

In darkness, the mind comes short Gullible to any item offered, and Not an excuse for self underdevelopment Obnoxious in the gathering of knowledge Rationality greatly fractured and invalid And then lost in the puzzle of understanding Never near a sound judgment, because it Cannot sieve random information which Ends with a sense of powerlessness

See, now this is brilliant and concise, accessible and hilarious, yet edgy. You could deliver this as something close to stand-up comedy, where we all get to laugh at our collective habits of ignorance. So, now, what do you have for WISDOM?
