Think about thinking
Why does it malfunction?
We claim it’s important
So where’s our compunction?
It’s not about smarts
‘Cause some dumbers do it
It’s not about knowledge
Ignorami can too it!
Some brainiacs, oddly
Appear to poo-poo it
Ditto the scholars
Who seem to eschew it
So what is the secret?
What makes a thinker?
And how is he diff from
A grape kool-aid drinker?
It’s all about truth
And the gumption to face it
To eye your assumption
And dare to erase it
At least that’s my theory
But what do I know?
I still have some places
I won’t let reason go
