Sagacity
Jeffrey Powell 1979 (Pittsburgh, PA)
They make to their demise posthaste-
those who deduce that they know best.
Assumption being all the worst
When intuition's not immersed.
Faltering intellectu'lly
Eludes from what the facts should be.
Supposing the distance betwixt
Discernment's sure to elix it.
But thinking prowess needn't be deep
Provided th'mind can take the leap.
