I'd Rather Be An Underling

by Debra White

You think yourself oracular,

the knower of all things.

So mentally superior

to us, mere underlings.

Not one of our opinions

is worth consideration

because we plebs know nothing

next to your sophistication.

The intellectual worldliness

within you radiates.

But on your self-made pedestal

you don't have many mates.

I hope to write 30 poems in April for NaPoWriMo, but I'm late starting. I'm slowly catching up...

For this poem, I chose the 'word of the day' from merriam-webster.com - Oracular: can be used to describe a person who resembles an oracle (a person giving wise or authoritative decisions or opinions.)
