A Narrow Path To Nonsense

Trying to pass an elephant Through a needle is crazy and irrational That's a narrow path to nonsense Trying to fake it or to faint That you score when you drop the ball Every time is highly deceptive That's a spooky way to show unintelligence A sore loser is pusillanimous and vindictive An illustrious leader accepts defeat and concedes After losing a long battle. Bad or foolish deeds Merit no rewards or compensation Great men show comprehension, compassion Bravery and true leadership in a crisis Doing the impossible thing is not a basis To a successful outcome. Common sense Prevails all the time. Ignorance and intolerance Deserve no defense. A man with a magnanimous heart And bravery is a hero who puts nobody apart Because unity wins all the time. Division is a cancer That destroys dreams, hope and a better future A genius keeps everything relative, relevant and simple And stays away from anything that's senseless and impossible.
