Ultimate Transparency of Mind


Imagine everyones thoughts

Being clear to others as day,

The motives, the incentives 

The things that make us act a certain way

 

Would our behavior be any different

Without any secrets to hide?

Or would we embrace our own character

Without skipping a stride

 

What If our parents knew we got in trouble

Before we even did?

What if we still tried to cover it up

After all, we're just kids

 

What if the worlds superpowers,

Understood each others plight?

Would there still be a reason

for us to continue to fight?

 

Would it still be possible

To let hunger ravage any streets?

Or would there still be those,

Who could sleep soundly in their sheets

 

Could Instantly knowing others thoughts

Let animousity run rife?

Or it would it grant us empathy

For all kinds of life
