Knowing
How do people know they know
Those things they are cocksure of?
Certainty does overflow
When acting so assured of
To be so right, most all the time
Egos ever sprouting
Know It Alls feel so sublime
Never ever doubting
Admitting errors, they rarely do
It's just not in their makeup
They never think they misconstrue
Perhaps they need a wakeup
What is it in their mental scheme
That makes them act this way ?
Pehaps it's just low self esteem
That holds true facts at bay
So, Know It Alls, get off this track
We really know what ails you
Humility is what you lack
Your know-it-all-ness fails you
