Better judgement

Jeremy Leach

One day you learn that judgment's not equal
That some people's brains are drenched in treacle

 

If a point could be missed they reliably miss it
If the facts are laid bare, they assemble a misfit

 

They breed utter chaos when reasons are plain
They waste all our time to quibble again

 

Their words are spoken as if they make sense
But leave you baffled at someone so dense

 

Most people roll with fair intuition
Following the likely in each situation

 

Navigating life with a dollop of gumption
Knowing to avoid the dead-end junctions

 

Knowing to separate the fact and the fiction
and knowing to avoid deep introspection

 

Knowing to avoid the cult and conspiracy
and knowing it's bad to obsess on what could be

 

Knowing to keep right away from improbable
and knowing to focus instead on what's possible

 

Knowing that having a head that's screwed on
Will generally mean that you won't go far wrong!

 


But this one's bonce lacks the rational circuit
And if it's in there, they still haven't found it

 

It's full of malfunctions and well off the scale
Please all stand back to avoid their flail

 


Pondering deeply about such befuddlement
I stop and give thanks for my own better judgement
