Simpleminded
by DIB DE LEON
I don’t really mind –
Don’t really know much about politics.
I don’t really mind –
They don’t really know much about me too.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t really know much about chemistry.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t use much chemicals too.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t really know much about sciences.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t know what seance is too.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t really know much about righteousness.
I don’t really mind-
Don’t really know much, I confess.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t really know much about sorcery.
I don’t really mind –
The technicalities of technology.
I don’t really mind –
Don’t really know much to write poetry.
I don’t really mind –
If you criticize my musicality.
You might say I’m ignorant,
‘Cause I’m not that educated,
But I’m not unprepared,
‘Cause I know that I’m contented.
The reds and blues go by,
They can’t stop me from celebrating,
I know that life’s like that,
You can’t stop it by your complaining.
Really, I don’t mind.
