Thirty (hopefully) Poems for April
: 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.
 
 

Author Notes
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.)
