Common Sense Says



Common sense would have it that common sense,

Is in uncommonly short supply these days.

Not nearly as common as it once used to be,

Not nearly as common, as the good old days,

Difficult to locate wherever you might roam!

Majorities claiming nobody has any anymore,

Including, not least of all, society as a whole.

Still, despite agreeing it is no longer common,

That everyone says, its becoming uncommon,

They also insist that its only common sense,

That today common sense no longer exists!

Even if, statistical studies have repeatedly shown,

In every way possible, academics could think of,

The only thing common about common sense,

Is most people agree, nobody else has any,

Making common sense, an oxymoron!

What makes sense to me, personally,

Is zombies are just way too common.

If they have any common sense at all,

If they possess any sort of sense at all,

If they can listen to their words at all!

Any ability to express what they mean;

Anything that others could understand,

It evidently doesn't include most people!

Most claiming no one has common sense,

Zombies all speaking, private languages!

Seldom bother with the mindless masses!

Often complaining that none ever listens!

Never trusting, even their own dictionary!

Never comprehending, what all others say!

Ever distrustful, of everyone's motivations!

Who They Claim Are Often Much Too Common!

Because again, they have no common sense!

Because common sense is, its all uncommon!

If all common sense is uncommonly common,

When uncommon sense, agrees with common!

When Common sense is common sense is rare,

When common Sense no longer seems to exist!

May all your confusion and tears, be replaced,

With An Abundance of love, laughter, and joy!

With the Light of truth shining upon everyone!

Replacing anger, hate, and disdain inner peace.

All suffering with the greater light of the Truth,

All conflicts with Inner Peace and contentment.

Take comfort in the knowledge, nobody has ever,

Managed to lie or mislead themselves completely!
Most, resigned to denial, avoidance, and pretense!

Protecting their boo boos like any small children;

Whenever, becoming totally convinced they are,

Not quite yet strong enough, to face the Truth!

Thus discovering happiness and acceptance,

First In Your Heart, And Then Your Mind.

Lao Tzu, once remarked on the situation:

What is a good man but a bad man's tutor!

Whenever a bad man, is a good one's student!

For only the Heart is really capable of listening!

While, without the Love of the Truth in your Heart,

All the common sense in the world, never did anyone any good!

And, what comes around, always goes around and around again!

When the pupil is poorly prepared, the master is rudely awakened,

Is my tongue in cheek way of saying, reality can slap us in the face!

Its only common sense that its usually better to just accept the truth!
