They trip over words
the kind they don't understand
too short or too large
they can't comprehend
no grasp of the nuance
at hand
Down goes the thumb
stupid and dumb
like dragging a bag full of sand
plodding along, not right, and all wrong
with a mind that can't grow
or expand
Perusing life's road
they'll complain and whine all the time
"this isn't right, this is all wrong"
anonymously hiding the lack
for dull broken words
they know they can't use
leaving knifes in other folks
backs

Seems we have more "Thumb Downers" in HP's ranks these days, sad, too bad they have no eloquence above and beyond a physical gesture )`:
