Senseless Talk

Every soul on the planet knows that people are senseless. You'd think we'd wise up some over time. Time and time again people focus on being devious. Is the way they play their way of being real? People Who really try to make a difference sometimes spill Their kindness on arid land when what it really needs is a flood. And I've tried to provide a flood Of kindness and love and values, but to them, it's so senseless And pointless that I'd much rather spill It on someone who'd give me the time Of day and actually appreciate what other people Don't even stop to consider because they're too busy deviating. From what I've seen, all people know is how to be deviant. They want to be the ones to unleash the beast, bring the flood Of deception and drown the truly honest people Who care enough to even reach out a hand to those senseless And lost souls. I've lost many a wink and spent many a night time Thinking of a way to save my blood from being the next to spill. But I am not the only good-blooded one who posses what they wish to spill. I am not the only one trying to out-deviate the deviants. I know someone who, despite the lies she is told all the time, And despite the pseudo-amorous atmosphere, sees the real flood Of bull droppings thrown her way. She can see through the senseless People's transparent lies. She will go farther that most of those people. It is a skill to be able to feel my spiel about most people And their mindlessness. I hope I'm not around when they spill Their mind and speak their hearts and rant and rave in their senseless Talk. They think they make sense but in their quest to deviate, They unplug the faucet of all that's bad. They cause the flood That ruins those who want to bless the world with their time. I wish someone would bless me with their time. What do we have to do to rid the world of senseless people? Shall we pray for another flood? Or should we take it upon ourselves to spill The guilty blood? I'm tired of all these people and their deviousness Who take pride in being senseless. I, for my part, will not waste my precious gift. I will not spill My knowledge upon deaf ears and closed hearts and devious Minds. Because that, my dear reader, would truly be senseless.
