Elitist Supreme

In the simplest man  
May I find complexity  
May I not be bored  
With seemingly subdued  
Complexity  
 
May I not be a bore  
Who claims to have seen the world  
To find monotony's score  
In others  
And therefore  
Myself  
A lonely anomaly  
Unto the common  
All  
 
May I not become a snob  
Literary and pedantic  
May I not be that knob  
Who cannot sit with the party chick  
... To think so small of it  
 
May I see the shrinking  
Humbling thoughts  
Where many can find prey  
A defect  
For those that have manifested not  
In this ignorant  
Vast  
Grey  
 
May I never  
Become so uninteresting  
That I not  
Meet an interesting soul  
For who am I  
If I am to become  
So simple  
 
That there is no beauty  
In routine  
Or curiosity  
In the unknown  
In between  
 
May I acknowledge my ignorance  
And not stand on a throne  
That a high IQ gave rise to
May I never be that far gone  
 
Boredom  
The ultimate  
Dressed up know it all  
How intellectual elitists  
Cling to limited truths  
Like religion clings to God.

Author's Note
If you get to know someone only to find them boring,it is only probable. If you meet ten of the same people, uninteresting to know as much as one can until the end, you have not once met an interesting person. It only makes sense that you are the problem. For I have seen the world in the eyes of one person, unseen and unheard of by others. How alone intellectuals must be in their strife of finding people that peak their interests. That peak is short lived. And there is no place for you here. Like a collector of talents, there is nothing interesting you offer.
