we are capable
of so much more
than just instinct
logic and reasoning
the cornerstone
of the thought process
do…
reflect
analyze
acquire information
develop original ideas
structure concise arguments
make sound decisions
commit to following through on thoughts
debate your decisions rationally
be…
a critical thinker
one’s developed rationale
guides better decisions
turning experiences into lessons
humble and wise
thinkers value the power
of people drawing the best conclusions
one doesn’t come across it often
this feat of lyrical astuteness
witnessed in written puzzles
i applaud these cerebral metaphors
enlightening us in phrases
challenging us with humor
to all the creators
with intelligence and sharp wit
a well-deserved hat tip
when life throws
the consequences of living
in the path
of its inhabitants
a reaction ensues
what will it be…
compassion?
schadenfreude?
action?
indifference?
those who are gauche
spew an urge
to oppugn
with their splenetic
reaction
their attempts
to bifurcate
the attentive passersby
is thankfully
limited
attention garnered
by the few impressed
while the majority
dismiss them
as reason holds
… and the sensible go on

He opened his mouth. Then my clothes fell right off.
Bad ideas should burn.
Heaps of ashes everywhere.
Food for better ones.
