To Think or Not Think

To think or not Think that’s the question?
They say the thinkers of today are the leaders of tomorrow,
but if I stop thinking will I become a servant for the elite’s wicked projects?
To stop to think is to stop being a well-rounded person,
If I think harder will I become a threat for the well-connected?
~~
If I don’t think on my own, school will make me do so,
under their own terms.
If I don’t learn to enjoy being a free thinker will
I turn into a shill for the government?
~~
How many dreamers took their dreams six feet under,
when they passed away?
In order for the dreamer to be joyful,
he or she needs to be a builder.
~~
It’s selfish not to think,
When I don’t think I’m slaving my mind away for others,
To not to think is to be a slave to the mainstream thought.
~~
The free thinkers of today are,
the builders of tomorrow
And the builders of tomorrow,
are the legends of after tomorrow.

Fabulous words... I was left
Fabulous words... I was left speechless more than once. You have a real poetical, imaginative way of voicing your ideas. I enjoyed your thought process. This part in particular made me stop reading and take a breath!
