Niceties Have Become A Rarity

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

Sadly Jack the list of unhinged people is growing by the day. Send them all to the far side of the galaxy. Hope your weekend is going well Tom

A very well constructed poem that was a pleasure to read, especially about those who lack a sufficient amount of pleasurable qualities. May they, the unhinged, on the road to darkness, find an off ramp, or a possible detour to make it back into the fold. And may we not be, on a bus, with them, judged by those better than we.
