If there was really any thinking going on....
Would only fear edge into blindspots?
And promises towed and torn into two
While angry statements tailgating your lane
Sideswipes wisdom for the view
Would only fear edge into blindspots?
And promises towed and torn into two
While angry statements tailgating your lane
Sideswipes wisdom for the view
If there was really any thinking going on....
Would Anger be in charge of the questions?
Charging Love into sad and narrow jails
Twarting practice for self-expressions
Temperance not weighed in the scales.
If there was really any thinking going on...
Witnesses would celebrate a reason to stand
Creating contracts and passionate promises
Integrity paving safe roads to future lands
Detouring reckless doubting thomases
Where would thoughts drive
It's easy to stare at the debris on the road
And your calls to get help are to watch
Rubbernecking life's daily blindspot betrayings
With nonthinking undoing, hop scotch
