Thinking knowledge is a good thing is right,
thinking you know more than anyone is wrong,
I say this because poor me
was too ignorant at the time to recognize such a sin.

I stood there, judging people,
like I was some kind of queen, I must say.

Whom that is modest
should be blessed with knowledge
and don't diminish the value that is given to it.

I have to admit that if thee humans were not given some sense,
then anyone in the world would be known as Mr. Right.

How awful would that be,
for Mr. Right to be too stubborn
and to not admit that after all he is not that right,
don't you think?

In such case we would,
may this not happen,
be subdued by ignorance.

Thinking knowledge it's a good thing is right,
thinking you know more than anyone it's wrong,
I say this because poor me 'Poor' seems to undermine the tone of the rest of it, which seems to be reprimanding the narraotr's self. If that is a reference to another side of things, put in other references so that it will be more clear and balanced as part of the piece.
was too ignorant at the time to recognize such a sin.

He/she who is modest I'd say 'he' because it sounds better and more conventional, but not to be sexist here0 and of course it's you choice.

and won'tdiminish the value that it's given to it.

Overall, great poem with a great message. These were just my grammar nitpicks.

I could also suggest adding some imagery, but it doesn't HAVE to be included. The poem is lovely as it is.

Again, I could also suggest making a bit of a more regular meter, but again no NEED. The poem is lovely as it is.

Overall, a very intelligent poem and I love the message of it! Keep writing - I'm subscribing a follow to you! :D

I want to hear more!

I liked the message of this poem a little more than how it was written, but that's just me. I really liked the ending stanza and how you ended it with a straight up statement of what can and will happen. The only stanza I had a problem with was the first one with "Mr. Right" in it. This just confused me a little, being that first you were talking about yourself judging others and then you switched to someone else. Despite that, I still enjoyed this and am glad that I read it.

In the first two lines do you mean "is" not "it's"?

In the third paragraph the first two lines seem like they're supposed to rhyme but they don't which throws the poem off a bit. You may wan to change the wording in them.

This is an interesting poem. I don't really get what you're trying to say in it but it is good nonetheless.

Keep writing!

Hi Thanks for the useful comments and grammar nitpicks, I always forget to proofread :) ... About the poem I just wanted to express the fact that ignorance doesn't just mean knowing nothing but it can also mean knowing everything but not willing to learn more thus having a tendency in acting superior ... I am glad you enjoyed reading it ;)
