Self Proclaimers
people pick what happens to them
to their loved ones
and suddenly
they are martyrs to the cause
experts
sitting on the board
now i care
now it has come home to roost
and now,
my experience was just a course
with exams i clearly passed
and stages gathered up
all knowledge so complete
i am the cook
i am the professor
i am the artist
but never the confessor
because it is all nonsense
experiences in life do not make you –
an expert
this is something i personally –
have often spied
when the wave of absolute change
leaves you so disenfranchised
i know less than before
and it left us
even more insecure inside
