Uncommon Sense

It's no longer common unlike years ago What once was sound judgment today no one knows Selfish and addled and atrophied minds are prone to suggestions with evil designs And scarce is discernment it's known by but few who march to their own beat so simple, yet true Away from the darkness straight into the light Their path may be lonely but at least it is right While staring at cell phones as batteries drain the minds of the masses go slowly insane Up is now down and west is now east The world has turned over and madness increased The zombie apocalypse has surely arrived Pray history shows that a few shall survive For they are the ones who have uncommon sense in an age where such things are of no consequence © Mike Wise 1-10-23
