Don'T

Don’t Superficiality, I hate it with a passion Authentic speaking, thoughts and deeds Are almost out of fashion It is as if a curse has come Upon the human mind To keep us empty from within To keep us dumb and blind The thinker is now ridiculed His thought process is ’*****’ His presence has become a pest They wished he’d disappear Just keep it light, don’t think too much And don’t try to be real Don’t tell the truth, it will upset Who knows how one might feel? Don’t stir up things, don’t question none Don’t teach, do not inform We like it shallow, it’s more fun And that should be the norm We’ll talk about the trivial things Like fashion, the weather, and food But not the troubles in the world It won’t do any good. Let’s focus on our pretty selves We’ll stay well fed and groomed And let no one dare to frighten you By saying we’ll be doomed. Wendy Nipas
