a little cynicism

a little reflection on the insulting junk mail, invasive phone calls and other demeaning stuff that gets foisted on the public; a rengo

see, i don't mind dumb.

dumb has a child’s innocence

about it, a harmless,

 helpless look, that wide-eyed look.

it's stupid i cannot stand.

 

stupid seems to grow

with smug satisfaction and

pride in its weakness

of mind, a drive to remain

on this level of dullness.

 

stupid may be smartly

dressed and elegantly coiffed

with a resume of

impressive report. ah, but

stupid always shines through all.

A biting and 'cynical'. Yes, dumb is not a choice but stupidity has at its root arrogance and lack of love. Keen write.

Thank you. I do find all that barrages us really tiresome. My husband received what claimed to be a RX discount card which he took to the pharmacy to investigate. Turns out the card not only makes your RX cost more, but your insurance will not apply it your deductible. I told him, just pitch it, baby -- ain't no free lunch.

Hahaha...I don't blame you ...You are welcome...:)
