The Death of Common Sense

The death of common sense has been under reported lately 
As a coups d'état has taken the world by storm.

Now 
Upon his throne "stupidity" holds council with callousness, greed , hate and war ,all of whom smugly agree it's seem like a darker future a head .

Stupidity  calls for Suffering , but she is busy in foreign lands at present , so war is sent with a message to bring her home.
Meanwhile callousness and hate shall have to do her bidding until she returns .

So the word goes out,  common sense is dead ,
Stupidity and it's ways now rule us all !
