The Scrambled Philosophies That I Call Thoughts

DON'T THINK

WE LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE INTELLECT IS ALL THAT MATTERS
MATH AND SCIENCE HAVE TAKEN OVER
AND MORALS HAVE DIMINISHED
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO FEELINGS?
OUR BRAINS KILLED THOSE
DON'T THINK

"PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON, KIDS"
THEY INSTALL IN IS WHILE WE'RE YOUNG
"THINK ABOUT IT"
THEY SAY
DON'T THINK

INTELLECT IS NOT ALL THERE IS TO A PERSON
WHO THEY ARE AT HEART IS WHAT MATTERS
THE WORLD DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW THAT
DON'T THINK

"USE YOUR HEAD!"
THEY WON'T CEASE TO DEMAND
BUT, I KID YOU NOT
YOUR LOGIC WILL CANCEL OUT YOUR EMOTIONS
AND ONE DAY,
YOU WILL FEEL THIS NUMBNESS
AND FALL APART AT 3AM
THEN WONDER WHY YOU'RE CRYING
DON'T THINK

YOUR HEART MAY BE NAIVE
BUT NAIVE IS BETTER THAN CRUEL
SYMPATHY IS BETTER THAN LOGIC
MERCY ALWAYS BEATS SACRIFICE
IN ATONEMENT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
DON'T THINK

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME
THOUGH YOUR BRAIN CERTAINLY BETRAYS ITSELF
BY TELLING YOU THAT I AM WISE
BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME
I ONLY ASK ONE SMALL FAVOR
DON'T THINK TOO HARD ABOUT THIS POEM
DON'T THINK
