Down Deep Poem by derrick foster

Dig through the stupidity
it's down there
way down deep
a nugget of something smart
that makes sense
it's wrapped in a blanket of dumb
wade through the muddy mire of ignorance
find some fact of the matter
one gets information from the most uncanny sources
sure, there is an abundance of idiocy
but if you burrow further
you can see past the flood of dumb
there is rich soil that when mined
will get to the heart of the matter
you just have to dig for it
if you can bear it
oops. the moments gone
catch up stupid.
better yet leave it behind.
You're not quick enough.
