Idioms of a Critical Thinker

Attacking others will never gain you ground
You’ll see the enemy when you turn around 

Stand and face the eyes you see
Within the mirror is the inner me

 Gaze upon this sight, until the face is changed
Your thoughts within, soon utterly rearranged

Even as you read, you do not understand
Do to erroneous conditioning, since girl to woman, and boy to man

 Let go of emotions you know that are wrong
 As only the collective suffers, from this detrimental song

 I’ve studied your thoughts and hear you cry
 Struggling with fixations you know are a lie

I study your mind inside and out
Observing your observations of matters you know nothing about

 Someone has deceived you, into believing castles in the sky
 Although you possess the power, you find comfort in not knowing why

You’ve taken a pill, and normal is your sick 
Are these the words of reality or just simple limerick? 

You Be The Judge.
