Death of Common Sense

by Ravinder Malhotra



Our dear old friend is now no more He died in pain I hear No one knows how old he was But to our hearts was dear He lived by simple policies Spent less than what he earned Followed reliable strategies His fingers hardly burned He taught us lessons valuable Life’s isn’t always fair The early bird gets the worm To teach us he was there His health deteriorated rapidly As regulations came in place Well intentioned but overbearing Those made him lose his face A six year lad is charged for Kissing a classmate A teacher fined for reprimanding A student who walked in late He further lost the will to live When criminals were granted rights And religions furthered businesses All within his sights His death was preceded by his son His parents, daughter, wife Responsibility, Discretion, Trust and Truth So dear in his life Not many were at his funeral And none will miss him hence Few realize he is gone His name was Common Sense
