Subject chosen: Thinking
Something we do every day,
in many a conscious way,
and many a subconscious way,
is think, we think about all we do,
about colours, red, white and blue,
and the bills that are due,
an electric flash across our neurons,
and we can be in different dimentions,
playing with multitudal imaginations,
we have to think in order to walk,
in order to cry, sing, shout or talk,
to write with pencil, pen or chalk,
to some thinking is a way of life,
to help with all of the strife,
or a kind word to a would be husband or wife,
we really should not for granted take our mind,
for without it we would be deaf, dumb and blind,
the way we think is personality personified,
it raises us up above the creatures in the wild,
creates temperament, strong and mild,
reflected in our clothes, all styled.
