The Smartest One In The Room

As they value themselves

The smartest one in the room

Everyone below them as they stare down

From their perch they come up with brilliance

As they hear the people’s shout

Praises of their grand ideas

The smartest one in the room

The only one in the room

As the others do the work

As they are needed for directions

So inspirational to all around the crowd

The smartest one in the room

As they sit alone on top

Lost in their mind of wonderful thought

Never seeing what was lost

As they feel their greatness looking all around

As they love to tell themselves

They are the smartest ones
