The mass extinction of common sense
Emotions will distort all reality
verifying a total misconception
accepting only what feels comfy
mind controlling self-deception
Hollywood stylized cable news
seasoned for your favored taste
sugar or vinegar flavored views
common sense spoils into waste

Yup, 100% true. Not really sure why we still call it common sense when the "common" part seems to exist less and less as time goes on...
Thank you! I am thrilled that you know of what I speak! There should be no fuckin' doubt that common sense went extinct due to its lack of use within the mainstream minded community. To clarify the ramifications for the mainstream mindset...a person with a mainstream minded mentality is incapable of thinking logical in regards to just about anything pertaining to what is good and what is not good for society as a whole...not that any one person knows what is best for society...but I'm speaking of those blowhards we all know...those who constantly spout off their opinions about what people should or should not be or do.

Jack, I just love when you comment on one of my poems! I mean, I appreciate any comment when given with sincerity...but you understand! Preconceived notions along with emotions can really fuck up one's take on reality. And I guess we all do that to a certain degree. But it seems like many people's emotions cause them to fantasize a false reality...or just go blind to all reality
