Common Sense

is not so common any more

it was eliminated by our

education system

people think only a college education

makes you smart

that a degree is the only way

to achieve success

 

but common sense

prevailed for years and years

and people got along just fine

then computers came along

and made us dependent on them

 

subsequently

our brains are not being developed

since computers do our thinking

our brains have atrophied

and we have lost the DNA

for common sense and

no longer pass it down

 

it's bad that common sense

has been eliminated from our society

because it used to keep things working

and running smoothly

we were so much wiser

when common sense prevailed

 

now we don't have the common sense

our parents were born with

and stupidity reigns as never before

 

with all our technology

people are actually dumber than ever

and common sense

sadly

is now uncommon.
