Get Ready - Use Your Brain

Knowledge, science hateful be
To those who never doubt they’re right –
Those who have eyes but will not see.

They shy from logic, discussion flee…
In vitriol and rants delight,
They choose, they choose stupidity.

Proof be damned!  What’s “A” plus “B”?
No time for such, those without sight,
Those who have eyes but will not see.

Prefer do I a mind set free,
They balk…for ignorance they fight,
They choose, they choose stupidity.

Read books, newspapers, history…
Join not that intellectual blight,
Those who have eyes but will not see –
They choose, they choose stupidity.
