Common Sense isn't so "common....

Thomas Josiah Chappelle

Common Sense isn't so "common....

A wry glimpse of what may trully count in the final determination,
Surpass man’s unequaled folly and soul’s condemnation;
Humanity’s great loss in near dismal termination!

Common Sense isn't so "common.... belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Live, Love, Dream: May you have a Blessed Christmas Season , Living Christianity, Safe Haven, The Healing Journey and WMG

Common sense is not so “common” amongst the masses;
Who could stand in their presence with all their hot gasses?
Do they fail to realize their judgement hardly passes;
Nary as wise as the stable mules and jack asses,
who in his folly will sink in his own morasses.
Nary will he focus on his own dereliction or trespasses.
But look down his nose thru thick trifocal glasses -
Toward a man who has worked the soil and the tall grasses.
Such who knows what he knows, about all that, certainly surpasses…
A soul who dares to think his astute worldly wisdom outclasses…
Such a man by uncommon “decree”
with naught but an associate’s degree,
Common sense and lifetime wisdom’s pedigree.
