Charles Michael Craven

there is enough ignorance
on this planet
to drown
civilizations.

mix a little arrogance
with that ignorance
and a winner is born.

too oblivious to know the difference
he’ll enjoy this existence.
thinking everyone else feels just like him
he’ll put himself out there,
he’ll talk out in class
and in business meetings,
he’ll volunteer his services
and brown nose with the best of them,
he’ll be loud at restraints
and think he could get every girl
that looks in his direction.

this guy will be
the typical drunk and stoner
the typical freshman and senior
the typical frat pledge

he’ll be the typical student
the typical employee
until he becomes the typical boss

he’ll be the typical husband
and father
living the typical life
before experiencing the
typical death.

the man I speak of
enjoys his life.

I wouldn’t,
would you?
