Thoughtless Day

Thoughtless Day   

I was looking out of the window
The view was a road and an opposite wall
And I decided to think of nothing 
Emptying my brain for all the rubbish and
Lies I had read today and let it sink into the silt 
Of the forgotten yet is silt that one day can be
made of mud and do a lasting service 
for mankind, and since the settlers keep bulldozing 
Palestinian dwellings, no, no I will not think of 
This and why should I since I`m not thinking 
Like the rest of the world.

Man, it is difficult not to think about love and death
And all the things in between so I look at the white wall
It is five years it was painted, but it still looks new.
No, this is too hard I will go and make a coffee eat
A biscuit and think the freezer need to be defrosted
