The book says be wise
I say be stupid only the clear sighted can see
The things of the spirit are stupidity to the common man
A common man you are
Haven’t you read? No you haven’t
You are a common man
At 12 Jesus understood more
More than the Jewish scholars
A survey was conducted
For entrance into Nebuchad’s university
Criteria being voraciousness in reading
Sensibility, versatility, and goodlooks
Four were chosen, The Judah brothers
Ten times wiser
Wiser than the skilled magicians and wise astrologers in the realm
To labor we don’t relent
Luke the doctor cured
Peter the fisherman fished
Like sand on earth
Chosen from the earth’s corners
From tax collection, to politics
It’s been passed down, call it old stories
Our manual the holy book
You haven’t read of course
You are a common man
A little sleep, a little slumber
And poverty will invade
So we work like the ants
‘Cos you haven’t read
You are a common man
We are scholars
Commanded to study for approval
Our differences here thereof
Happy ants with bountiful harvest
At poor yield we rejoice
At plenty yield we are thankful
My attitude is positive
You can’t fathom that
In your basket holes are seen
I see style instead
They see the water you can’t hold
I see the slices you can hold
Can you live like that?
We find love in the furnace
Strength in difficulties
Boldness in dark alleys
Much hope on family and friends you have
But humans are undependable
They disappoint, They die
Ever heard the song ‘it is well’?
The artiste hoped and hoped
but an atheist would have given up
Severe case of depression
Suicide!
There lies our stupidity
It lies in innate happiness
It lies in faith and hope
Stay logical common man
We are comfortable
’cause our Savior is a comforter.
