STUPID MAYANS

Come on in you're running late
guess no one can stop time
I see you brought an end time date
have a drink, it's on my dime

I reckon you know all the others
no need to introduce
friends, cousins, sisters, brothers
that vodka needs a little juice

Times Square's on the big T.V.
the ball's about to drop
were Mayans wrong? about to see
is world and time about to stop?

5-4-3-2-1... the countdown's done
stupid Mayan prophesy!
we're still here and having fun
the prediction didn't come to be

Much ado about nothing
another dud for goodness sake
the midnight bell has ceased to ring
did..you...just feel...the building..shake...............?

It is not the Mayans that are stupid, it is the ones that tried to make them look stupid.
The Mayan calendar is a cycle nothing else, they were as intelligent as we are or probably more, they didn't sit in their rooms playing on computers and silly games like a load of Zombies, they had to work for all they had, it should apply today NO WORK NO Social.
I know our countries are not big enough to give all a job but that can be addressed properly, not as it is today here, where it is better not to work.
We can learn from those old people and us old ones if only they would listen lol.
Have a lovely day, Yours Sparrow

This was written mainly for fun but I meant to convey that the Mayans weren't the stupid ones. Guess I missed that shot lol. As to having to work to receive welfare......just try getting something like that through the radical Senate and getting our socialist emperor to sign off on it. It's in their best interest to keep as many on the dole as they can and by doing so buy their votes. I'm still having trouble believing we have enough idiots over here to re-elect that buffoon.................stan

It is a near impossible task to open some peoples minds to see reality.
Is it from the upbringing or do they grow like this in their vision-less greed.
I see mobs of people waving one banner and then others waving another banner can't they just sit down and think for a while.
I would let the best person for the job do it no matter what party they seem to be, they all support GREED and that is a sad party, yet they can't see no matter who they are.
Take care young Stan and try to have a lovely holiday.. Yours Ian . T

loved

stupid and silly who!
they said I.m naive
the meaning I knew not ...
had they told me...
i was real fuckin stupid
I'd become wise
they must all have thought..
so still I remain naught

I have found that those most likely to call another stupid are the ones a bit lacking in gray matter themselves. This was supposed to be reflected in both the poem and title but I guess I failed to convey that.............stan PS probably because I'm stupid lmao
