"Dumbest Person in the World"
“You are the dumbest person in the world” that thought came to me. I did not like having this thought and I asked it to flee But it kept coming at me like the drops in a rain The more that I felt it, it caused me great pain It wasn’t saying that I was just dumb Implying that my mind must be super numb But I was the dumbest who has ever lived So dumb that I wondered if I could be forgived So dumb in the world that I should go to jail And of course anyone so dumb should just go to hell Why do people tolerate me do they need a good laugh? Are they offended and think I need a bath? Ok, I’ll admit it I’m as dumb as they come The dumbest indeed the world’s record is done I won the competition of being so dumb And now that I won it, I’m going to have some fun In being so dumb, it gave me a voice I wouldn’t say I’m dumb but it was a matter of choice I love my energy and wouldn’t let it go to waste So I never expent it on words of poor taste But I loved to listen for things I seemed to be missing I loved the stories of life and all of its blessing I feel in love with two things called wonder and awe I lost myself in the stories told by my ma and my pa We believe in love because it makes the heart sing “That’s why I asked you if you would put on my ring” This world we live in is just heaven on Earth A story I lived with since the time of my birth Like any religious family, we went under the steeple each week We prayed and we sang to be good people and meek But something was missing, I didn’t know what it was And so I kept quiet until I felt the truth buzz Then something inside me rang out as the truth It felt good inside the way it did in my youth I’ll admit it I was as dumb as they come That role is now over so let’s call it done “The joke is on me” it was sung by Bruce I repeated it often before my truce So being dumb didn’t need no innovation And it certainly doesn’t need imitation Let’s not go there are or do it again There’s too many people I seem to offend It wasn’t that fun since I had to go it alone I couldn’t find a friend as dumb as me, not even a clone I’d much rather be a very good friend And this is what I now plan to intend Although I was the dumbest there world will ever see There’s no reason at all to imitate me I’m learning my lessons and on my way to smart Thanks to my friends, I’m off to a good start Don’t do it alone they always say We learn from each other, this is our way Although I was the dumbest the world ever did see I’m happy to report there’s a new side of me I don’t have to believe all those stories of old I can create my own stories that are very bold But I won’t do it alone because were in this together We’re not always perfect but each day we get better I’m no longer dumb because that identity I shed It’s gone from my heart and left as it bled What I want to do now is to create with you I want to make a new story with my favorite crew We put as our focus twenty thirty zero With all kinds of room left for billions of heroes |
