Its nice to be balanced and intelligent
one does not demean and ridicule oneself
in idle pursuits or engaging in pointless endeavours
and perhaps more importantly one has no inferiority complex
that needs daily compensating in distraction projections and venting
the height reached was not attained by sudden flight it was earned
in honest endeavours and a well tendered and nourished mind
not filled with the bitter bile of blinding ignorance
nor wasted and shamed by cowardly acts
or spoilt and gutted by envy of talent
