On Keeping One's Head in the Right Place
We've progressed in many ways:
We know the earth's not flat.
But killing in the name of God?
Now how absurd is that?
They say we have a developed brain,
But when you hear the news, it
Is pretty clear that many people
Don't know how to use it!
I know it's wise to try to find
What makes others tick.
But sometimes--darn!--it's difficult
To put up with their shtick.
To give the benefit of the doubt
Sounds very fine,
But there's a dangerous point at which
People cross the line:
Killing others just because
They don't think like you
Has to be a blatantly
Stupid thing to do.
All over you can find wise people--
In every nook and cranny.
You'll also find many a fool
Whose head is up his fanny.
