Nobody will take you seriously.
Not in a suit,
or on a dock,
or pretending to be German when you're not
In leather boots,
Or drinking tea,
Explaining the Big Bang to your niece,
Flaunting your wallet,
or your lore,
or the things that you have "done before,"
Riding a Porsche,
Or a bike,
Camping near Walden on Saturday nights,
Teaching this and preaching that,
Posting blog posts about life hacks,
Counting all the books you write
Working deep into the night
Americano at day-break
Fifty candles on the birthday cake
Enough wisdom to compensate
Not in this complex day and age.
Who are you to dub yourself a sage
Take your wisdom, suitcase, go
Nobody will take you seriously, no.
