Word of the day – pertinacious

Pertinacious- adhering resolutely to an opinion, purpose or design

To be pertinacious is close minded
Not very spacious in terms of opinion
I guess you could say it’s quite blinded
To be pertinacious when designing

Designing a thought based only on what’s been taught
Suggests you think you already know
Everything you need with no room to grow

We could say we’re never pertinacious
But that’s a statement completely fictitious
Because even of us the most willing to listen
Have believes in a box; absolutely locked in.
