The Common Sense…mother of all senses

The Common Sense

…mother of all senses

By Apolinario Villalobos

 

Before anything is felt by the other senses,

the common sense sends cautions…

 

-that burns can result from touching fire

-that gazing at the sun damages the eye

-that smelling glue can just be repugnant

-that no bitter taste can please the tongue.

 

Common sense is always disregarded,

almost always, forgotten it’s with us…

 

-causing others think, only they should live

-causing others to just take, and not to give

-causing others to act with wild insatiability –

-resulting to the loss of other people’s dignity.
