Abolish thinking

Thinking is easy
Acting is difficult
Putting thoughts, into action
Makes it most difficult

Those who don’t think
Also find Life, easy
For another reason
 ‘I am confused, I think’

  Thinking isn’t bad
When you have it right
 ‘Don’t think’ while living
‘Thinking’, you aren’t living

 Often mind indulges in
 ‘Point to point’ thinking
Drifting, from idea to idea
Smart one, directs thinking at Will

 What we think, we become
Create ‘Our Little World’
  What are we today is
Resultant thoughts of Yesterday

   Perception is how we look
N structure our world
  Thinking involves moving
From knowledge, to a better one

 Purpose of thinking
Is to abolish thinking
  By creating patterns
Creating familiar roads

  When mind becomes, uncreative
We need to back-track
  Change pattern to pattern
Action of watchful mind

  Thinking isn’t intelligence
A matter, determined only by genes
   It’s a skill, like driving a car
Be a wise one, think well

  Highly intelligent ones
Aren’t always good thinkers
  Often they become preys
Caught in ‘Intelligence traps’

   Intelligent, take a view
Then use intelligence to defend it
  Prove someone else is wrong
Why seek out or listen to any!

  Thinking requires courage
Rather than intelligence
  A confident one, doesn’t prove
Others are wrong or himself right

  He is willing to listen
Seeking, a new idea or new path

Reviews

[R J Askew]

Isn't thinking abstract action? And isn't thinking the highest thing we do as humans? is thinking easy? Often we seem to act without thinking clearly. Was Iraq light thought through properly? I like this piece very much as it makes me ... think. I sense you are right about transferring thought into action, or rather results. Many writers probably think wonderfully, but few ever get beyond it.

[Angel Bird]

Thoughts are very important in human life. Thinking is one of the most powerful tools in our system. Without it we wouldn’t know what to do, where to go and how to do it.
Gives me food for thought. Well done!

nice poem.

[Arlene Fleisher]

Very well written. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sending it to me.

[Greg the Bard]

It goes without saying that man is a thinker first and action last. This is a great write that you must have put a lot of thought in.

[Ladysue]

A very thought provoke piece. I love the messages you are conveying here. A very insightful and clever write!

[Brett Campaigne]

"Intelligence saves us from nothing, not even stupidity." ---Baudrillard

This is great polemical verse with good advice. I always have trouble seeing thought as something different from Being. The changing focus of attention in one's Being(or consciousness) often seems like a different state("I am thinking now."), when it is really a changing of the thought's texture. Your poem goes a great way exposing some of the pitfalls of the common understanding of thinking and intelligence, but these distinct terms are all woven into the same fabric.

I think some of the writers that have reviewed this poem mistake reading the title for reading the whole poem.

[Nicholas Hallows]

I like the idea that we all think, but it is how we use those thoughts that really matters.

Those who don�t think/Also find Life, easy - I have often thought about people who seem not to think, and they often seem happy in their little worlds.

I also like how the poem is like an abstract series of thoughts; one leading to the other.

I enjoyed the video to this too.

My one criticism would be the use of 'N' instead of 'and'. You seem to do it in the poems of yours I have read. Even if it is deliberate to me it does detract from the quality slightly; suggests you couldn't be bothered to type in the complete word. If it is deliberate I would love to hear your reasoning.

Good stuff. Thoughtful.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Clever, thought provoking write. Some times I wish I could stop thinking but I think its all in the mind. Great write. I enjoyed this.

[TL Boehm]

Smart words. We get so tangled up in our heads, our feet never move. This poem articulates that wonderfully.
