Uncommon Sense
It's no longer common
unlike years ago
What once was sound judgment
today no one knows
Selfish and addled
and atrophied minds
are prone to suggestions
with evil designs
And scarce is discernment
it's known by but few
who march to their own beat
so simple, yet true
Away from the darkness
straight into the light
Their path may be lonely
but at least it is right
While staring at cell phones
as batteries drain
the minds of the masses
go slowly insane
Up is now down
and west is now east
The world has turned over
and madness increased
The zombie apocalypse
has surely arrived
Pray history shows
that a few shall survive
For they are the ones
who have uncommon sense
in an age where such things
are of no consequence
