It Only Takes One
Re written

  Just food for thought
Something I’ve been thinkin
Something we all need to comprehend
And let it all sink in

You know how it is on a rainy day and
The rule is we should have our lights on
But you know some won’t
Yes there’s always one

The snow has been falling for hours
Over night so you scrape your car clean
And there’s the lazy one just wiped a spot
On the drivers side you know what I mean

Like you have a dog and you walk it
And you always pick up the poo
But there are those people out there
That refuse the respectful thing to do

Like when you go to a Gas Station and
Find litter that’s been dumped from a car
Yet there’s the trash can not three feet
Away but that’s how people are

These, the same people that protest about
Bad drinking water and our environment
I don’t like being the man of darkness and
Doom but there’s a need for enlightenment

So now there’s this virus we all know
The all powerful COVID—Nineteen
Shutting down a nation and people dying
But some people aren’t so keen

There’s the ones who just don’t care
And some just can’t understand
So what’s the big picture for the
Rest of us here in the heartland

I fear this is something that will continue
And that it will never be gone
Because the world is filled
With the stupid and it only takes one
