Clever

No matter how clever
we think we are, there
is always someone
who is cleverer than us.
They may not be brainier
and their intelligence level
may even be low,
but on one thing,
they can outstrip us
with their gift
that makes up for
other failings they may have,
so never think yourself better
than everyone else
because the simple answer is
that you are not.
