You say "I think" ten times a day
Or fifteen times or twenty And even more. Well, anyway You sure repeat it plenty. But pause and ponder half a wink And start your brain-cells clinking; "I think" you say, but do you Think Or only Think you're thinking? How often is the thing you've thought Out of Yourself created And not a dictum you've been taught And simply imitated? Into a reverie you sink And like an owl you're blinking, But do you actually Think, Or only Think you're thinking? "I think," you say - and ladle out Some fusty old opinion That probably was known about In Pharaoh's dominion. Do new ideas ever slink Into your cranium's chinking? I wonder - do you really think Or only Think you're thinking? Traditions, customs, fill your head And some of them have virtue, But most of them have long been dead They fester there and hurt you. Son, chuck that clutter in the drink, Wake up - don't sit there blinking! Wake up! And then perhaps you'll Think And not just Think you're thinking! “A person who fears suffering is already suffering from what they fear.” - Michel de Montaigne
