Headless Body

Do you know someone that is a headless body? Such a person does things without thinking about the consequences. He does not use his head.

Headless body

Why do dumb things?

Don’t you think

About the consequences?

You would wonder

Idly on flowing green fields

- – -

You dropped out of school

Without an education

Not knowing

What you were going to do

- – -

You binged on alcohol

Drove, killed a man

And were charged

With manslaughter

- – -

Once out of prision

You smoked dope a lot

Assaulted a cop deliberately

After running a red light

- – -

One day you picked a fight

With a bigger guy

Were whipped

When you knew

You couldn’t win

- – -

What motivates you

I know not

You’re a headless body

That just don’t think

yes, a lot of people just carry arround their head as a souvenir on their shoulders…they are not serious in using it.

Hi there!
