Its Not Helpful

It is not helpful to think, to ruminate
on things that cannot be re-thought.
The original is pounced upon
by piggy-back thinkers.
Charge and counter-charge,
nothing changes
thoughts engraved in stone remain.
When a brash mind questions,
rats nibble at ancient foundations.
Better to write poetry,
better to lie then bolster a false truth.
A poem can fabricate
love and hate and still be true.
It's not helpful to think too much
about this.
