From scratching a living,
mighty civilisations rose.
The first idiot
to get on the back of a horse knows
more than all
the philosophers pontificating.
The stupid step forward
while everyone else is waiting.
Thankfully,
the smartest could never persuade
the foolish from all
the bad decisions they made.
STREAMING SERIOUS STUPIDITY
Stupid Is,
As Stupid Be;
With Tears,
Just Read
The POTUS Latest
Commentary:-
Removal of the orient gleam of
an ephemeral existence.
The Constrict persistent,
a secure suffocation.
To suffer in gasping provocation.
Null proclimation, writhe.
Grade A exasperation,
desperate for lung expansion.
Consumed by a jaw unhinged
and sealed in
scale-tight enzyme digestion.
Allowed self-doubt to
let myself
down,
this road
I
led myself
down.
Inhale freshwater,
I
held myself
down.
Becoming a defenseless lure,
helpless and approachable.
Grace never held her hand out.
Regrettable rational, internal dialogue
soured by stupidity.
Remedial action, to focus on discrepancies.
Mocked by the laughing flatulence expulsion.
Giggles to self as motor function falters.
Off to nowhere, cease feeling weather.
A headless chicken or lamb to slaughter?
We brought ourselves out here.
Neanderthal deliverance service.
Severed head, served on a bedrock platter,
apple-gagged,
toothless banter.
Of three things you need for happiness--
Be stupid, healthy, hail selfishness,
But if not so stupid
It may not help indeed,
So, better bless your foolishness.

Note: Based on the doctrine of happiness by Gustavo Flaubert. Who proves this so vividly in present-day politics? It’s not so hard to guess.
He promised greatness.
He delivered noise.
He spoke of peace—
and scattered it into violence.
A ruler is measured
by order.
He governs by disorder.
Each word escapes
before understanding arrives.
He mistakes volume for authority.
Fame for command.
He believes the state
is a stage,
and leadership a role.
But nations are not films.
And power does not applaud.
Allies withdraw quietly.
Even folly has a limit.
For he who wishes to be obeyed
must first know
how to command himself.
Wealth crowned him,
but wisdom never followed.
Gold does not govern.
Humility does.
The people were promised protection.
They received confusion.
A single man
can weaken a great house
when vanity replaces counsel.
History will not ask
how loud he was—
but how much he damaged.
And future tongues will whisper:
Not a tyrant.
Not a genius.
Only
a champion
of stupidity.
Zero tolerance for stupid nonsense.
Please tell me I'm wrong and misunderstanding.
I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Mothers don't let your children
grow up to be soldiers
and march off to battle
without remorse or of course
a thought of regret
to get in the way
boys playing follow the leader
'We're only following orders'
the young may say
yet greed and stupidity
is the name of the game
either for land or in God's name
history has taught nothing
on judging it seems
and trudging behind the herd
in a word
it's 'insane'
but what if the Generals held a war
and on the day
nobody came
Australia last year donated guns..Held by the goverment
Just token in the sum..Even pistols anything you can
Think..While its own citizens can't even clink.' The bolt
In a barrel withougt jumping through many hoops.' Strange
Times, strange laws.. What do you think.?? And all those
Guns were sent to Ukraine? Its like pouring fuel on a fire
To me thats so plain.'
bootlicking idolatry
He’s a peculiar star
he comes from TV
ambition is his sphere
and his every line is a trick
all know him a notorious liar
whose business is schadenfreude
but many curry his sweet favour
for he has the cowards furry
and an actors need to be flatter'd
He has no quality worthy of entertainment
but we must see him every hour
for he is an hourly promise-breaker
for rashness, superfluous folly and thievery
the world has noted, he has no historical equal
In moral retreat, he outruns any jockey
the treasures of his idolatrous worshipers
he straightway began to strip away, by tariff
too late their despair they will proclaim
but the misery will be well earned

The lunatics finally did it
And it’s gonna drive us all wild
A man has an x-ray in the NHS
They will ask if he may be with child
Picture the scene, it’s almost obscene
If x-rayed at some later date
They’ll ask if I’m pregnant and I will say, “No…
But, Doctor, I am a bit late.”
The doc’s chin will drop to the floor
The unborn rank high in their fears
He’ll ask me, “How late?” And I’ll calculate…
“It’s something like sixty-five years!”
Once again, the ghosts of your sad past
come alive and show up in fearful words;
All I can do is stop you from shivering,
soothe the pain this darkness is bringing!
Get another hug, put everything to rest;
nothing I give you is cold and worthless!
Breathe in new air and feel so alive,
all your regrets and rainy days
have gone away; no storm can arrive
when the stillness has no wind:
hug me closer and feel safe!
Now, let go of your stupidity,
clear up the fog, it won't rain;
look at me and take a long sigh,
stand up and let your fantasy
defeat your low and raise your high...
until there's no anger, no disdain!
Isn't it time to forget your stupidity?
Isn't it time to kick off your idiocy?
Laugh and scream: how wonderful
is to dream together and have it all!
Stupidity's result reigns, on Englands trains, flooding in London
With disruption most dire' yet Ashford is sidlined Ebbsfleet
Was retired??
Thus must cause some Ire? Ignoring much infrastructure designed
For the best, in tourisam in buisness its not a big guess?
Laissez-faire, and we will find things likely will thrive, human
Scale; human values in each land must preside!
I thought she knew
She thought he knew
We thought they knew
They thought we knew
So not knowing
No one knew
We all knew
But weren’t sure
Of what it was
We knew
Hot air should be used for steaming
Or around clouds when your dreaming
But not coming out of you
Making you sound like a fool
Thinking you are smarter than
All your family and your friends
Their starting to realize
Your words just lead up to lies
Getting worse and worse each day
With every single thing you say
And your actions are not cool
Walking around just like you rule
Putting other people down
Someone should give you a crown
Proclaiming you the king of jerks
Nothing we do ever works
To pull you off your mighty throne
Someday you will be alone
And you'll wonder why you lost
All the subjects in your court
With no one around to see
Your foolish stupidity
