Supercilious ... Evolve

Today’s word is “supercilious” ... haughtily disdainful or contemptuous, as person or facial expression. (Dictionary.com)

Evolve
From such a height
     All those below look small.
Their lives look small
     And unimportant.
The supercilious ones claim
     That their wisdom is greater
           Than any other.
Not for them sagas handed down
     By frocked sages and doomed disciples.
They’ve given birth to their own philosophies.
     Comfortable beliefs that require nothing;
          That match their own desires completely.
Who would not be happy there?
Who would not want to create a world?
