Where The Sun Never Shines
Ignorance Is Expensive

It was back in the fifties the “Space race” began
The winner will walk on the moon
I think a few babies were dropped on their heads
And today they’re as dumb as a loon
They battle the obvious, challenge the truth
They’re called the “conspiracy nuts”
The truth’s inconvenient and logic can hurt
They’re the ones with their head up their butts
The Russians were desperately trying to win
Would not they come forward with proof
Breaking the news to a mesmerized world
That “The landing’s were merely a spoof”
But that didn’t happen, it’s obvious why
They too were amazed by the feat
So to falsely accuse would be a mistake
When it’s clear you have suffered defeat
There were 35,000 at NASA back then
Did all of them knowingly lie
Imagine the money for sharing the truth
So wouldn’t just one of them try
The heroes that died on their way into space
Where have they been hiding since then
These logical questions a realist would ask
And a realist would ask them again
You embarrass your children, embarrass yourself
Yet somehow you stick to your guns
The school system failed you so miserably
That you’re proudly the dimwitted ones
Your brain’s undeveloped yet claim to be wise
It’s no wonder you miss all the signs
You’re easily jaded and kept in the dark
With your head where the sun never shines
About the Creator
Earl W. Pearl
I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.

This is quite humorous and full of satire.
