Clear Thinking

To think clearly

What we see in our daily life is like a hastily iPhone photo
Lacking depths and smiles not reaching the eyes
Accept what is written in newspapers and for our political 
Based and false information written by those who are 
Interest is to convey to us their opinion, which consists
Of their prejudices based on the politics of their leaders.
Independent thinking is a struggle it is so easy to accept 
The official thoughts of today, but also to clear one own 
Biases like and dislikes.
What I fear can be more difficult is to clear the mind of as
We wash the mind of excess childhood beliefs and since
This endeavour is an impossible task, we must know all
Pinons are tainted; we are influenced by what we read 
And of the environment that marked us.

Calmness Is Solution For Confusion

To confusion, put a brake
Or else peace is at stake

At the time of utter confusion
Calmness gets a solution

Just forget totally everything
Spend time in finely meditating

Like clouds let worries vanish
Let all your doubts diminish

Closing eyes and praying
Is a superb way of saying

That in Lord you truly trust
So troubles He will arrest

Confusion is common
To all men and women

Due to a very clear thinking
Confusion will be sinking

If confusion goes unchecked
Mind can be easily tricked

Deny confusion a chance
Then in life you can advance.

Premium MemberThe Source of My Blunders

I am convinced clear thinking requires effort
While anyone can come up with a bummer
But many do, when cornered, as a last resort
And we all do occasionally spit out a “dumber.”
I’ve found it painful but wise to bite my tongue
Still, I’m rather prone to foot-in-mouth disease
My folks taught me better when I was young,
Not to say things that make others ill-at-ease.
Their sincere efforts apparently did not take,
For too often I say precisely what's on my mind.
I’ve never been accused of being a phony or fake
Though, occasionally, I say things out my behind!

Premium MemberIt Is Not His Fault - Political Opinion

For some reason unknown to clear-thinking people
Some blame the president for everything that is amiss

[It is not his fault gas prices are surprising, 
It is not his fault the temperature is rising
It is not his fault gun violence is epidemic
It is not his fault cultural racism is systemic
It is not his fault the Congress is stagnant
It is not his fault that drug use is rampant
It is not his fault folks have gone “woke”
It is not his fault with a whisper he spoke
It is not his fault he has a few years on him
It is not his fault he is healthy and trim]
Considering what he inherited from those lying sheeple,
We ought to be giving President Joseph Biden a kiss!

CLEAR THINKING

There was a time, long years ago
When I allowed the beer  to flow
My mind was foggy, thoughts impure
So I don't drink beer, I drink Ensure

Premium MemberHumility and Pride

Humility and pride


1. Humility is the portal to spiritual understanding.


2. Pride is the principal obstruction to spiritual perception.


Intellect should direct us to a higher Being. Prideful thinking does not permit clear thinking; when pride gets in the way, a normally rational being is not able to perceive evidence of God in the cosmos.

Premium MemberMemory

Feel each feeling,
Watch clear thinking;
Poise now styling
A memory.


Think now merging,
Prompt feel urging;
Choice now binding
A melody.


Surge of feeling,
Merge with thinking;
Voice now linking
A mystery.

A Son's Tribute To His Father Just Passed

A Son's Tribute (spoken at my Dad's Funeral)

A quiet man,
A family man,
A proud to be a father man.
A handy man,
A lively man,
Not known to be a dandy man.
A humble man,
Clear thinking man,
A need to know what's what man.
A warm man,
An organized man,
A man who had a plan, man.
A sailing man,
A camping man,
I'll do it as I said I would man.
A fair man,
An I'll be there man,
I'll help you if I can man.
A deep man,
A neat man,
A standards keep us straight man.
A thinking man,
Light drinking man,
I have responsibilities man.
A technical man,
Get things done man,
A lovely to see him smile man.
A husband man,
Love my family man,
I'll be there when it matters man.
A brother man,
An Uncle man,
A wonderful Grandad all these years man.
A Blackburn man,
A Lancashire man,
Without a northern accent man.
A Rovers fan,
Real football man,
Legendary goalie in his time man.
A gentle man,
A driving man,
Keep going till we get there man.
A homely man, 
Come on in, kind of man,
And now, in our hearts and minds man.
A lovely man,
A loving man,
I'd like to go on, but I don't think I can...

Law of Attraction

Law of attraction, one's mastered their own universe mentally,
Attract positive thought process to manifest,
Worry a magnet for negatively 

Optimism produce healthy life, health, and wealth,
Faith, forgiveness, and freedom, law of attraction stimulate,

Ageless, abundance, achievement, ambition, and a well-being, brought on with clear thinking, 
Trust the process and self, 
Thankfulness bring more blessings,
Risk-taking, 
Achieve goals with faith,
Command every desire into existence,
Tap into intuition; mediation,
Inspire to be inspired,
Open-mind brings success,
Nurture self; ours

An Exercise In Clear Thinking

The other day on my evening stroll
I thought of the many times
we are the victims of misapprehension.

In my reverie I met a man who stopped me
suddenly, and posed a question--at least
I thought I did, or might have;

I'm not quite sure. Perhaps
he wasn't there at all.  If so,
how might it be?  Were he not,

is the question hypothetical?
If like the man,  it does not exist,
we must accept it anyway. Because

we have given it an it. And
it dangles there in the air;
we can't have that, so sighing

we must resurrect the man also.
Not so, you say.  I am the one
who must go.  I am the little god pretender

who is not God.  And you?
Oh ho,  not so fast, you too
are a believer. You've been reading

me into reality.  All along!
        ~

Listen and heed that gut feeling,
Know what you need with clear thinking.


Listen and see what now makes sense,
Set your heart free from feeble tense.


Listen and know the way of flow,
Your focus shows just what will grow.


Listen and feel the path you make,
Wonder can thrill each turn you take.


Listen and wait upon fond joy,
Here at soul's gate, watch love greet ploy.


Listen and stare with wonder's fill,
Go beyond cares to wise goodwill.


Listen and learn just how to live,
Grand bliss you earn with coins you give.


Listen and walk the way of peace,
Start your self-talk with happy ease.


Listen and live the best you can,
Learn to forgive the hurts life sends.


Listen and be your steadfast poise,
To be set free, live your own choice.

Broken Bottles

His pain labelled his face
Like an abandoned quarry full of "danger" signs
His guilt numbed his emotions
Like the blandest sand dune in the Saharra
With a head full of broken bottles
His mind was severed from clear thinking.

My father slept walked through life.

Ruled by the thoughts of others
Governed by their selfish labels
Mixed with self lies
Stirred by a wooden spoon: a race to the bottom.

With four hours to go
The light turns on !.
New light reflects through the broken bottles
Joins the dots 
The shards of glass becomes holders of love.
More than four hours though...
Shines forever !.

An Affair With My Ex

Having an affair with my ex
Reminds me that he was mine before
Before he loved me so much and even
After I have not ceased to want him
As long as he wants me
Our feelings are like the feelings of
Two disobedient children on a play ground
The steamy feeling of attraction still exists
When we see each other, its an affair
Which is like a baking velvet womb and
A churning wind in the desert
That holds me like a plague
It’s a ready atomic bomb about to
Wipe a whole country out
Its scented with guilty pleasure
That drives one to an emotional jail and
Brings all clear thinking to a stand still
Its inception and subsistence costs a lot
Some shillings in the bank
And can lead to bankruptcy
Bound to end in disaster when we can’t stay
We stay exes and agree to keep the hidden longing
And a bitter secret stirring wildly
In a deep sea of emotions

Premium MemberFalling

Why does your heart get fluttered so?
And you are feeling happy whenever that person
Is near?
Can’t help but smile
And laugh for no reason 
Are you in a state of absolute giddiness
Lightheaded, uncontrollably warm fuzziness?
And clear thinking is definitely out of the way
Lol
You tried to concentrate but it’s no use
And suddenly burst out laughing
You can’t help 
But that smile seems stuck on your face
Ok
You got work to do
And you just want to sit here
Thinking of that person
Ahh, you are a bad one
Slacking on the job
But oh well
You are in a trance
Fixed
No cure
Lost cause
You are in the abyss
Flying 
Floating
Slipping
You are in an unknown territory
And you are not knowledgeable
Are you going to get lost?
You are not sure
But you know you don’t want to be found
Lost forever
In the hypnotic spell
Ok, wake up
Your co worker is talking to you
:)
