Mostly Good People

The world's made up of mostly good people
Except for the lunatic fringe
Too bad we can't just get rid of these jokers
These yahoos have come unhinged!

Send 'em away to some distance galaxy
Far, far away from us guys
Let 'em infect some other civilization
We've had it right up to our eyes!

It's a dream I know, they'll still be around
When we finally close up shop
But the last to go will be us poets for sure
We'll utter the very last thought!

The world's made up of mostly good people
Except for the lunatic fringe
My question is why the hell must it be this way
Why are these guys so unhinged?

Poet Tacito October 31, 2013 at 9:08 AM It's this way in order to balance our lives. It's, essentially, Yin & Yang gone wild. More importantly, it helps us value the good that is there. To value what we do have, rather than what we don't. What we need, rather than want. :) Awesome lines sir! Jack Ellison October 31, 2013 at 11:30 AM You are SOOO right... we value what we have much much more because of it! Thanks Drake... have a great day, my friend!

Carol Eastman October 31, 2013 at 8:58 AM They've probably become unhinged because they've been around Dragon too long...LOL... You know Why don't we see women in the world's major terrorists groups... and unhinged groups? I think they just medicate the women and tuck them away... quickly... Tho they might be the hands behind the terrorist's cradles. Jack Ellison October 31, 2013 at 11:26 AM Ahhh so Dragon is the cause for all of the world's ills... naw can't be, he;s too too lovable! xoxoxox
