Now Sadly That’s How It Mostly Is...  
IGNORANCE... Is Truly Bliss... !?!
  
Cos’ When You Choose To THINK...
And USE Your CEREBRAL...
It Seems To Be LETHAL...
To... IGNORANT People... !!!
  
Who Switch Like Blades...
On... THINKING Brains...
Who Choose To Relate...
In Less Ignorant Ways... !!!
  
It’s Clearly Quite RARE...
For Heads To RESPECT...
Mind States Prepared...
  
To Use... Intelligence...
As Well As Common Sense...
In How They Choose To Express...
What’s Inside of Their Heads...
  
Instead of ARGUMENTS...
Bred From IGNORANCE... ?!?
  
To Express Their Views...
In Ways That Are Shrewd...
That Don’t Conclude...
In HURLING ABUSE... !!!
  
You See Many Are Confused...
So Prefer To Choose...
The IGNORANT Route...
Rather Than To Be COOL... !!!
  
And Show That Their Schooled...
In Dealing With... TRUTH... !!!
  
Instead of Choosing To Behave...
In... RIDICULOUS Ways... !?!
  
Which Is Why IGNORANCE...
Tends To Be Their Best Friend...
And Their... GO TO Vibe... !!!
  
When It Comes To The Stance...
That They Hide Behind... !!!
  
Dealing In... LIES...
That They Feed To Themselves...
As If They're The Right Guide...
To Their Minds Being Well... ?!?
  
So For Some It’s Their Wealth...
And Claiming Of Course...
To Have Knowledge of Self...
That Makes Them Feel PURE... !!!
  
And Then Of Course PRIDE...
Seems To Be Where They Find...
A Place In Their Mind...
Where They’re ALWAYS RIGHT...
  
When What THEY VIEW As STRONG...
Feeds A PONG of What’s WRONG... !!!
  
Which Is Just A Disguise...
That DENIES Being Wise...
When Life Is A Ride...
That Can Throw You Curve *****...
Pretty Much... ANY TIME...
Even When You STAND TALL... !!!
  
Cos’ Pitfalls Are A Force...
That Can Lead To Downfalls... !!!
  
That Can Cut Your Pride Short.
Like A Judgement In Court...
That Can Suddenly Put...
Your Life In Free Fall...  
  
When Judgements Are Made...
That AREN’T RIGHT AT ALL... !!!
  
So Your Standing's ERASED...
And What You Stood For...
Suddenly DOESN'T Look...
As If You’re... Quite As Good...
As You Have Projected...
To Certain Collectives...  
  
When Your Life’s INSPECTED...
As Well As... DISSECTED... !!!
  
So I Guess That It Is...
A Place Where Egos Live...
And Where Ignorance Brings...
A Way To... DISMISS...
The TRUTH About Things... !!!
  
From Being Racist...
To REFUSING To THINK...
  
BEFORE... Running Talk...
That Just Proves Your Like Mork’... !!!
  
A JOKER Whose LOCO...
Down In... ACAPULCO... !!!
  
Making... IGNORANT Quotes...
That Show That You’re Broke...
DEEP Down In Your SOUL... !!!
  
With NO Place To Go...
Other Than BRAVADO...
That Just Puts On SHOWS...
  
That Clearly EXPOSE...
The Holes In Your Roll... !!!
  
Because Holding Bank Notes...
DOESN’T Prove That You Know...
Anything More Than Dough...
And Making That Paper...
To Make You Feel GREATER...
  
Than NATURES CREATOR...  ?!?
  
So TAKE IN... THAT LYRIC...
And YES... THINK About It... !!!
  
BEFORE Running Your Lips...
And Thinking That You’re Slick...
Due To Your Heritage...
And Historical Links...
  
Are You Looking At Things...
Like How People NOW Live... ?!?
  
Vaccinated Like Pigs...
And SINNING To WIN...
To Act Like Queens And Kings...
Holding Worthless Trinkets...
  
Rather Than Help Our Kids...
To Live BETTER THAN THIS... !!!
  
If You Think That’s OKAY...
Then You Should Be ASHAMED... !!!
  
Which Is Why I Can Say...
These Things And Relate...
  
That Ignorance Links...
Itself To Some Things...
That Makes Humans Sink...
Into An... ABYSS...
  
Where Those Who Do THINK...
And Use Thought To UPLIFT...
  
Are Treated As If...
We're People Who Think...
That We Know Everything... ?!?
  
When All That We’re Really Trying To Do...
Is To Find..... BETTER ROUTES..... !!!
  
Than To Act Like Dumb Fools...
Who Are Quick To ABUSE...
When They Hear A TRUTH...
That Simply... BLOWS Their COOL... !!!
  
Which Is Why This Script’s...
Last Verse Is... THIS... !!!
  
When It Comes To How People...
Deal With Those Whose Cerebral...
Flies HIGH Like An Eagle... !!!
  
SADLY...
  
... “That’s How It Mostly Is”...
As the poem states, It's sadly not always a smooth ride, when you are one who possesses wisdom, and the type of smarts that deal in truth, that offends others.
