I never understood
people who don’t like
to read
I can understand if
you don’t like
certain kinds of
reading materials
but some people
just don’t like reading
at all
but they love to talk
they’ll talk about anything
current affairs
economics, history
finance and so on
they’ll make
or should I say
they try to make
what they think is
a complicated synthesis
that more often than not
is just simplistic
garbage
that in some way
shape or form explains
what is happening
in the world that
surrounds them
but when asked where
do they get their
information from
they say that they did their
research
and when pressed further
they become irate
when told that their
ideas are erroneous
and false
they respond by stating
that their interlocutor
is arrogant
and a know-it-all
if not with threats of
violence
humanity is damned
because most of us
expect that
some magnanimous soul
will do all the research
and then simplify
everything into
insipid phrases
that will give all the
explanations
all the solutions
and that everybody will
then ride off into the
sunset and live
happily ever after.
