A Good Rule Of Thumb
Here in the mechanics
of the mind, some just aren't
mechanically inclined.
A line of people
waiting in a queue,
more and more gathered
until there was quite a few.
Some were crippled
and others were blind,
some were deaf and they did sign.
More and more came
to where they gathered that day.
They brought with them paper,
and shoddy goods they did take away.
A good rule of thumb,
none of what you see,
only half of what you hear.
They'll play on your ignorance,
they will cater to your fear.
Here in the mechanics of the mind,
some just aren't mechanically inclined,
and a good rule of thumb is a good rule of thumb.
