About people who like to jump on a bandwagon at every opportunity.

There is one type of person who really annoys me.
The ones with no thoughts of their own,
believing in whatever they see.
They take as written, other people’s point of views.
No thoughts of their own,
they just don’t have a clue.

There comes a time in life when you have to realise,
that your own thoughts are more important
than those based on lies.
And when that happens, then you will see
the mistakes you have already made
and you can’t blame me.

With age comes experience
and common sense just can’t be taught.
The lessons we should all learn,
there is no way they can be bought.
Mistakes have to be made
before turning the corner
It’s better to make them now,
so as to get better in the long term.

They just jump on a bandwagon,
and believe that it’s right.
They just jump on a bandwagon,
and never see the light.
They just jump on a bandwagon,
and believe that it’s right.
They just jump on a bandwagon,
they do so every day and night.

    Funny how “uncommon” so-called “common” sense is. Fun article.

    I`m annoyed with those `idea` copiers too.. but sometimes it invigorates me to make more original pieces because emulating your ideas means you have made a profound impact to those copiers..
