THOUGHTS


Some say your life is the reflection of your Thoughts

it sounds strange but this you will never be taught

having a blank memory will only render you nought

be careful of what you think of good or not

Thought differs the way you think in  the south

is different from the way you think in the north

 

your Thoughts shapes you

it describes the real you

an epitome of your point of view

you sit in the hall your thoughts stand in the pew

we always have bad thoughts too bad the good is few

one is incomplete without it because it is part of the crew

the Thought is always there you nurtured it and then it grew

 

 

you Thoughts can either make you happy or make you sad

it can either make you smile or make you  frown

it can either take you up or bring you down

it can either make you swim or make you drown

it can either make you a villain or make you a clown

it can either make you a beggar or give you a crown

 

The more you think about sin the easier it is to give in

And the more you give in,the easier it is to keep giving in

even the Bible says ...'' whatsoever a man thinketh in his heart so he is ''

so if you think of yourself alone then youre a pessimist

if you descriminate people from other races

just to make yourself feel better then youre a racists

if your Thoughts are always political then youre a political activist

if youre born a hero then youre a protagonist

if you oppose the hero then youre an antagonist

if you want others to think the way you think then youre a thinking monopolist

your thought should always pave way for others like John the Baptist

 

your Thought  tells what goes on in your mind

it can be wind and rewind

it tells who you are

it tells what you are

it tells where youre ...

going about with the wrong Thoughts will lead to calamity

capable of jeopardising your personality in the society

and thereby arousing the feeling of curiosity

in the minds of CITIZENS and non CITIZENS

INDIGENES and non INDIGENES

and because contained in your Thoughts is laxity 

you still seat without thinking  about POSITIVITY

 

Because our Thoughts tell what we are

then this is the right time for us to start

thinking about the solutions to the  religious intolerance,kidnapping above all corruption

presently present today in our Nation

and this is the right time for us to stop approaching our complex

problems with simplistic solutions that would not bring about any progression

and finally,this is the right time for our leaders to move from their  myopic point of view

to a better avenue to over view the views of the people .
