Time For Thought
Before the time when time began
before the very thought of man,
within a void where there was nought
was essence of a single thought.
From whence it came there’s none can tell
bred of void or heaven or hell,
but as that thought began to grow
that single thought became a flow.
And thus remained for eons of time
now time was there to draw the line
the tide of thought spread out its seed
now seeking to fulfil its need
Primeval need to find a place
where it could sample more than space,
where it could find a way to stand
and hold emotions in its hand.
As ages past, the seed now sown
developed into thought’s true home
and thought absorbed in life’s new shell,
still washed in void and heaven and hell.
The human race must understand
that thought alone can rule this land,
no matter how we choose to play
primordial thought directs the way.
So void or heaven or even hell
its up to you to cast the spell.
Don’t blame no other for the way
you feel about the world today.
Just collect your thoughts, with them unite
and when agreed prepare to fight,
for what you think is how you play
and how you spend your time each day!
