Analysis of When, Where And How To Use



Some, these days are proving,
When, where and how to use common sense...
For them is a puzzle, a riddle, a mystery.
And none,
Are neither curious enough to question.
Nor attempt to solve the issue.

It's similar to playing,
A game of the blind leading the blind.
Through a tunnel darker than midnight.
To find reason and rhyme to their own,
Dilemmas.
Or hide and go seek.
But few who play and know it to be a game,
Keep this a secret.
Hoping to hear themselves announced,
Victorious.
Winners achieving deception successfully.
But...
At what price is paid?
To claim a normalcy dysfunctioned.
And so far off an outdated track.

Until that day comes,
To observe it witnessed...
This very same game played,
Becomes taught to learn too well.
By the ones intended to dupe and hoodwink.
Then those rules cemented,
And made to follow; obey without question.
Are changed to fool.
A return of embarrassment and ridicule.

The thoughtless?
The thoughtless do not think.
Impulsive are those thoughtless.
And absent is common sense distanced.
To seldom produce Oxford scholars,
Yearning to be rocket scientists.
But miracles like this are known to happen.
Somewhere!

Imagine this...
In this massive and vast Universe,
Earth manages to survive...
While fragile living human beings,
Inhabiting this wonder of miracles.
Are determined to destroy it.
Including their own existence!

Although...
The when, where and how to use,
Credible intelligence with competence.
Exclusively for who is this doing to be proven?
Making even the hypocrites,
Raise their eyebrows as if to wonder...
To whose advantage and benefit it is,
For those floating in a boat...
With every entitlement there is on it given.
Now are made to believe,
If they drilled holes on this, their boat...
Would keep them from sinking.
And they would begin to fly to heights.
As envisioned in their dreams.
With a self serving of endless abundance.

Who...? With that kind of mystical influence.
And hypnotic ability to hypnotize,
Closed tight lieing deceived eyes.
Who...
Put these deluded to fiction visions,
In the minds of so many believing...
An image to idolize is as true to see it,
When specifically created...
To decay brain cells.
Done with a consciousness to then decide,
Having their teeth pulled without novocaine?

What else explains today's crazed mentalities!

Remember the days,
When people would laugh and say...
How crazy the times are getting?
