Unquestioned Thoughts

Unquestioned Thoughts

A poem by Michael Joseph Farrelly

Hark their trembled whisper
That wish this day would end
A life's view in one whisker
Less thought for kin or friend

A rat-race to the tomb
Will wish each month away
Train your mind to take a broom
To all these thoughts that sway

All unquestioned thoughts
Become your belief
The lens through which you bought
Ideals of relief

Your mind left unquestioned
Will follow what it learnt
Bless the devil's errand
Rejoice your truth is burnt

Placed thoughts are to map
Someone else's answer
A convenient trap
If you're none the wiser

Count your ghosts, how many?
With fear or favour due
Each one a pretty-penny
Rent seeking lies now brew

Unquestioned thoughts can fly
But feelings are your clue
Sometimes your thinking eye
Oft-times your gut it knew

See, you have this choice
To ask and question all
Call out your mischief voice
To doom its feint to fall

Hark this assured whisper
Now wish no day to end
A life lived with a vista
More thought for kin and friend

Now shy haste for tomb
Your mind will less betray
It got hold the broom
To sweep their thoughts away

This quote by the author Richie Norton sums it up nicely:

"Questions open a space in your mind that allow better answers to breathe"
