Wrongthink-Rightthink

Wrongthink is any think You might do on your own, You know, in the vastness Of your inner space As cloud trains drift by Morphing into shapes As fanciful as you allow. Rightthink in contrast Is mind control from without With nothing fanciful or free allowed, Just dogma and doctrine And all the usual stuff That makes thinking a chore and bore Leaving us free to accept Whatever it is they say we need to know. Rightthink becomes our think When we have lost touch With what it means to be free ‘Cause being free Means not knowing what might come next As cloud trains pass And shapes morph Outside the boundaries of our mind.
