THINK ABOUT IT

Our thoughts are as powerful as a
cataclysmic force hitting the earth.

But we starve the wisdom that lies dormant
within ourselves like a lion in front of a
kill but to slothful to take his fill.

Our greed consumes us like
a polluted ocean
that flows into seas
which travels down into rivers
which branches out into smaller streams.

The life we give or take in that moment
is a supplement of our future’s components
of what could’ve or what should’ve
been.

We make the simplicities in our lives complexed
by coveting the rewards of others success
not knowing the choices one made to get
to that point of success.

When storm clouds blow in it doesn’t mean
it’s raining nor does when the sun shines bright
it’s hot outside.

So one should think things aren’t always
what they seem.

Think about it.

I always think things through, weigh them, sort them, sift the facts from falsehoods. God gave us a powerful gift to use it. When we think in a positive direction, miracles happen. When we think in a negative direction, bad things happen. We have choices to make. We can change ourselves from within before we change others.
An excellent poem with so much wisdom.

The power of thought. and yes. not all the time we know what is the other person is thinking about, though they say actions speak louder than words but it's not the case all the time. there are those ones who hide behind their mask of kindness. negativity of people's energies can be devastating. self worth , self respect, satisfaction are the keys. why I would want to be someone else if I am enough ad more? thank You for sharing your thoughts with us my friend.

Truly spoken. It’s always will be a mystery of what a person is thinking or why people do the things they do sometimes. I thank you for taking the time to speak wise words to be digested, my friend.
