Continuous Situations
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Ignoring to dismiss,
Continuous ongoing dire situations.
Until demands,
Are expected to fix...
That which should have been done,
Long before ignorance...
Became fashionable to display.
As these days ignorance is.
Who today,
That had chosen not to listen...
In days gone to fade away.
Could or should come to believe,
What they regard now is important.
Others who told them it was important then,
Should stop living to prioritize...
Their lives to listen and hear,
Those folks standing on their soapbox.
Hoping to get attention given,
For the same stupidity...
Updated.
Yet displayed is their repeated,
Repetitiousness of an ignorance.
Observed to witness,
Who is it to blame...
For the spreading of its existence.
And with a determination,
That it stays that way for years and years...
To come!
Dumbed down dumbed down done.
Dumbee doobee dumb.
Dumbed down dumbed done.
Dumbee doobee dumb.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh!
Clap your hands and pat those feet.
Everybody sing and sway to the beat!
Doodoo beedoo,
Dumbed down dumbed down.
Dumbee doobee dumb.
Wah-wah-wah-wahhh!
Bring 'em back.
Bring them back.
The loving of our stupid ways.
Owww...
Bring 'em back.
Bring them right back.
The loving of our stupid ways.
Bring 'em back.
The loving of our stupid ways!
