Won’t suffer facts & logic gladly as would shake them up badly

Are these days a modicum of intellectual curiosity & rudimentary due diligence too much to expect from today’s fantasy & entertainment-addicted consumer (erstwhile ‘citizen’) prior to his or her opining?

Many cohorts seem numb & glum
seldom sound intellectual
They kvetch of mere modicum
woefully ineffectual

Cursory their curiosity
awry in tortuosity
they lumber in ponderosity
untouched by luminosity

Dim their vision, grasping history badly
so they won’t suffer facts or logic gladly
