So You Wish to be Deep?

So you wish to be deep,
a paradigm of wisdom.
And so quotes consul you keep,
that intellectual whoredom.

A collection of trivia,
comes forth from your mouth.
Inconsequential the capital of Bolivia, 
unless your from that far south.

In that quest you go,
becoming ever less honest.
You put on quite the show,
like an addled pianist.

And as they gaze in wonder,
at how you could be so bold.
Your bullshit tears your story asunder,
your act is growing old.

Rather than knowing,
you make it up on the spot.
Rather than showing,
you claim you'd rather not.

I speak for those who must listen,
when I kindly ask you to shut up.
Instead you with your mouth christen,
An intellectually shallow cup.
