The Classroom Of Common Sense Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In this classroom
There are no complex equations
Or algorithms of unknown mysteries
There are no mystical portions
Laced with the most potent spells
There are no walls
To separate stupidity from foolishness
Or intelligence from academic excellence
In this classroom
There are no hard answers
Dipped in mathematical uncertainties
There are no foreign languages
To hide the truth
There are no puzzles
To stop us from thinking
There are no pepper sprays
To choke our vision
In this classroom
Life is slightly black and white
And every stone you see is a stone
Every fire you ignite
Will burn you
Unless you apply common sense
To distinguish reality from nonsense
To extinguish the lies before they hatch
To wash yourself of all conspiracies
And heed the voice of common sense
It's in times like this (covid-19 Outbreak)
When death is on every fabric of life
That common sense is needed
It's a bandage to address our foolishness
It's the light to undress our ego
Common sense is free
Let's use it
Practice social distancing
Wear your face mask in public
Wash your hands more often
Stay safe
And stay alive
