are we jealous or mediocre

no shows won’t know

class dismissed on with the show

more than one hand to clap

less than two fingers to snap

great minds work trenches

keepin’ track of one’s senses

as we trolley through space

last stop’s a perfect place

people share thoughts across lands

oceans, seas and golden sands

seems value of life caught in a twirl

must be the why’s and ways of the world

we’ve much to give to help others live

didn’t get the memo to forget and forgive

woe is the world with much askew

sheeple still sheeple no matter what we do

have a nice day and toodle-loo
