Dumb Things Done Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Can you save me?
From those dumb things done.

To stop those dumb things done.
Is it possible,
That I can overcome...
Being such a fool and thinking that it's cool.

That I can overcome...
Being such a fool and thinking I'm extra cool.

My mama told me my head was thick.
And my papa use to look at me,
Then bite his lower lip.
My teachers thought of me as just a tragedy,
Because whatever they taught...
I asked for facts to see.

Can you save me?
To stop those dumb things done.
Is it possible,
That I can overcome...
Being such a fool and thinking I'm extra cool.

And point out dumb things done.
