Common Sense Always Prevails

When something is rotten and stinky We’d have to be dumb and crazy To keep it in front of our lawn As a banner at dusk or at dawn; We quickly get rid of it. If the front of the house is well decorated With beautiful trees, plants and flowers The neighbors, even out of jealousy, are elated To congratulate, send good wishes, and honors; We wholeheartedly appreciate it. If a flag stands for: slavery, bigotry Injustice, racism, white supremacy Violence, intolerance, hatred Division, cruelty, and apartheid; We must quickly take it down. Common sense always prevails Nonsense crawls but eventually fails This world belongs to you and me Even when you and I disagree. We either accept that fact with a smile or with a frown.
