Seeds of Thought
Can I think of a thought
that's never been thunk
or words in such order
that's never been sought
Words are just letters
all strung together
for a point, a meaning
of each one's scheming
What are these thoughts
into words we comprise
are they each his own
or from others' derived
If nothing can truly be created or destroyed
and something can only be changed in form
even this law when finally formed
has been all along, way before
If thoughts that come
are not my own
from whence do they come
were they planted and sown
Thoughts are like seeds
fertile in the ground
they grow and mature
to a garden of sounds
What are these thoughts
these words we make
surely they must do
more than communicate
Why are these thoughts
and words we've selected
often written and spoken
to cause dereliction
Some words are loving, sharing and caring
some give comfort to pain one is baring
others yield thorns, thistles and hurt
to cause pain, inflame, ready to lurch
From neurons firing by sparks in our brain
come marvels, inventions, most wondrous of things
but then comes the evil, most dreadul for sure
right along side, to cancel the pure
Now zillions and zillions of words have been slung
around the world, in so many tongues
though thoughts and words might never be new
just think if thoughts were only construe d
to think the thoughts of things that are pure
