Miracles We Do Every Day

We've split the atom
    flown to the moon
  harness the winds
    recorded belugas who croon  

  built mighty cities
    on former sand dunes
  but from common sense
    we're still mostly immune

Stanley Kubrick the great film Director claimed he had created and filmed moon landings here on earth and states we never went to the moon it was all made to look like we did. Your right Gershon common sense is hard to find these days. Thanks for sharing...

Fly me to the moon so I can join the belugas, croon. How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? My common sense has just waved me goodbye. I enjoyed your poem immensely, my friend We will need a vaccine to boost common sense in the end.

HA This is a fav for me Gershon. Amen to that. I said it before -- It seems common sense is a fast disappearing commodity. God Bless, JB

So very true. We are able to perform herculean tasks and unbelievable feats! But sadly common sense is not so common among many of us! Right observation dear Gershon !
