“There are no right answers to wrong questions.” Ursula K. Le Guin
If we were persons so smart
If we had the power
If we could empower
If we had an ivory tower
If we had this and if we had that!
Tis becoming old hat.
What would you say
What would you pay
What would I pay?
A mere pittance, not I
I would heed the call
I would give it my all
Whether big or small
I would keep my world
From a downward swirl
I would give from my heart
If I were a person so smart
What would you do?
It’s your world too.
-Eugenia
A gander at me – enjoying a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years, being rewarded both professionally and personally, I am now fulfilling my dreams. My writing and creative endeavors can be found on my blogs, Eugi’s Causerie and Eclectic Brew. I have authored eBooks Fanciful Delights, Mama, me, and Mother Nature, Life’s Spilled Coffee, and also have writings at Spillwords, PoetrySoup, beBee, and several Anthologies.

If only we, the collective human race were so smart.
I agree, Sadje! Just think about what we could accomplish.
Exactly 👍🏼
Eugi, many who think they are smart are considering only their own benefit. It takes vision to work for the common good. This is a very thought-provoking and beautifully written poem. <3
You are so right, Cheryl! Thank you for your very kind comment.
😊
Yes the common good stands out as a cure-all that most interests me as well.
I wish more people would think as you do and the other commenters, as well.
At least those in my Kundalini Yoga practice do.
