Ignorance By Osmosis


Standing next to stupid,
pale tone idiocy 
can’t even proximity spell
moral illiteracy

Ignorant feelings blinded by color;
stunted neural moles moving backwards
behind a non-lucid, Luddite veil

Vacuous thoughts unruly did
beta wave at the cloth
Amidst the mindless mob mentality,
moronic orations ran amok —   
Inane utterances blabbered freely

Wiping their void secretions
upon the snot rag
of civil discourse devolution

Rebel ignorance is a kin 
to grey matter dim
Blue-ray vision 
of a depleted cerulean era: 
Haughty sovereign time-share hastily closing

Those dull white cells
are persuasion immune to wisdom — 
Aural epiphany fails

Slug osmosis, diffuse mannequin ideas move dummy slow
Porous understanding filters
Dark past emotions eclipsed by an unpaid debt tomorrow

Ancient bigotry has grown Babble Tower, 
talking mule stooge stale
Fresh refugee scapegoat anger now 
smart monkeyshine sells    

Empty conscience quotient
is bosom bury    downright low
Hateful imagination is
dunce concentration detestable

Standing too close to stupid
will severely 
reduce one’s mental acuity

"standing too close to stupid" - I hate to say it, but for some of us it is a daily event. Thank you for a laugh Freddie.
