Such a Waste

Is such seriousness a requirement?
To win the award of intellect…
Is it your outstanding fulfillment?

Imposing thoughts of virtue upon others,
With emotions and ideas.
Plagiarism.

You concentrate your brain on important matters,
In the company of others.
Let it roll in a useless circle while time ticks, ticks,
Ticks.

Not a laugh, not a smile.
Trick into thinking that you are rare.
Intelligent.
Important.
Worthwhile

And such a waste!
