Mutiny of the Mind

Mutiny Of The Mind Did You Eva Stop to Think What about tomorrow What is really on the other-side of today? Should I force myself to go along When my insides tell me, things are wrong.? Did You Eva Stop to Think Could my life had gone a different way, If I’d chosen a different route? I think I could have took another stance Against injustices and Brutality. One day I thought, and realized My thoughts were never really my own That day I vowed to think my thoughts Speak my words, in my own tone; Stop and think while being alone. I will Listen to that still small voice; That will guide me to that perfect light. If I Ignore my deep-down gut My inner-voice, will yank my heart I really had to stop and think - What about eternity. did you ever stop to think, what about forever.? Not religion nor popular opinions Nor culture or traditions Neither the number of votes, Nor the amount temptations wealth. Can ever again make me feel right About doubting myself. Did you ever stop to think; That people who cause mind mutiny; Mind your business well. As if they have you under scrutiny, And want you beneath their spell. Did you ever stop to think? Your life requires your participation. Without participating in your own life Where then will your soul go.? Flesh rots: Hearts keep records, Bones slowly decay and sink. Before the soul flies away... A hue-man can always change his ways; Man, must secure himself against negativity. Before he reaches the brink. If only, he meditates awhile and Seriously stops and thinks.! © Vicki Acquah,
