Vast
"Caution required when listening to experts, for it is usually just one opinion. Find out for yourself"
Quote by Poet
How vast the scope of knowing
Overwhelmingly so
My self awareness overflowing
But otherwise not in the know
How vast is the ocean
My knowledge just a drop
I proceed with just a notion
Fall foul of a Malaprop
How vast are those intellects
And all the clever clogs
Talking of things so complex
Whilst my brain unfogs
How vast and disregarded
Are the need for facts
With mistruths we are bombarded
Misrepresented salient extracts
How vast the condemnation
Of things not understood
Just lost in the translation
So few promises made good
How vast the hope for change
Requested by the few
The many still unnerved by strange
Remain fixed in their World view
How vast things can consume
Swallow you up whole
Like a click bait newsroom
Devouring your heart and soul
How vast are all the conflicts
Everywhere right now
No suggestion they'll be fixed
The likes of me just don't know how
