What, Why the …?!



What, Why the …?!

Thinking is god because it decides your life
Yet it’s not automatic but requires taught logic
Eureka screamed Archie when he discovered displacement
Ari just smiled and the Lyceum shook with laughter to the rafters

It’s easy to enter mind slumber and change chortling channels
Reach for the peanuts, pizza or pretzels
Don’t stress yourself or you might strain those sloth muscles
Sure, there’s place for recreation and sleeping energizes your corpuscles

But life’s not a kisser and gravity holds you down
It requires intellectual gymnastics that’ll make you grunt and frown
But why care is the popular refrain with the chocolate wrapper rustling in disdain
The answer is that Liberty is fragile and the politically deranged love the non-thinking non-agile

See what happens when thinking is abandoned to the emotionalist scum
It’s race, gender, power and gerrymandering that replaces the intellectual sun
From this comes the ideology that powers assassination and devours civilization
Politicians that trigger blood spilled into the streets and wreck individualism into socialism
