Riffing on a comment in a post on Reddit's r/nationalparks about Brainworm Bobby being stupid enough to go swimming in Rock Creek, with the insinuation he was vying for a Darwin Award.
Their comment was "Hello Darwin, my old friend," and I knew what they were riffing on, and ran with it.
Hello Darwin, my old friend.
I've come to talk to you again.
Because a brainworm softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the screwworm that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of stupid.
In MAHA dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
On the top of a street slab
I turned my collar to the vax and jab
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of stupid
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without knowing
People hearing without learning
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of stupid.
"Fools" said "(You)I, Yet do not know
Stupid like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might fleece you
Take my arms that I might cheat you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of stupid
And the people bowed and prayed
To the golden god they made
And the hat flashed out its warning
In the words that it was screaming
And the sign said, "The words of Donald Trump
Are written on the White House walls
And Mar-a-Lago halls"
And whispered in the sounds of stupid.
