If I Didnt Think What I Think, Heres What Id Think

IF I DIDN’T THINK WHAT I THINK, HERE’S WHAT I’D THINK In general I think the world is not ideal - It’s full of loser guys who shiftlessly lounge about Drinking beer and smoking and watching women work. If it’s not loafers wearing loafers or gutless beer-guts, Then it’s the state of inequality which is rampant everywhere: Three rich fat cats and a hundred thousand skinny kittens; Three whites managing and a million browns toiling; Three armed thugs in uniform holding back unfree crowds; Is it just me, or can others see this topsy-turvy world? If I didn’t think what I think, here’s what I’d think.. . . That the world is a lovely place exactly the way God intended it; That I should be in church daily, thankful for all the blessings; That I should be glad that it’s them and not me; That my brain is working perfectly and my eyes are seeing; That there is very little which can be done to alter the inequality; That I should shut up and go home and open another suds - . . . But I’d be wrong. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . … . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
