Dumb, Not Stupid 

I might be dumb

But I am not stupid

I might not know

Where

Who wrote it

or when in time it existed

But I felt:

One scientist say

"The people own it"

"Could you patent the sun"

I might be dumb 

But I am not stupid

I might not know 

My history

Where we came from 

But I like discoveries

Like saying his name Bélizaire 

Learning that he was painted over, then uncovered

I might be dumb 

But I am not stupid 

But If I know anything

Time rarely grants mercy 

to those who must obey a truth

they do not understand
