Poetic Verses
When Thinking Goes Awry
Man can't go back and mend the hearts
That he will sometimes break
When selfish thinking leads him to
Inflict so much heartache.
And the scars will always be there
Once the damage has been done
Even if he is remorseful
For excuses, he has none.
But does he really count the cost
Of breaking a trusting heart
When he plunges into wrongfulness
Tearing someone's world apart?
Which may be true of many
Who act as if insane
By putting self ahead of those
Left crippled and in pain.
So, the lesson is for everyone
For whom it would apply
That we beware the dangers
When our thinking is awry.
That he will sometimes break
When selfish thinking leads him to
Inflict so much heartache.
And the scars will always be there
Once the damage has been done
Even if he is remorseful
For excuses, he has none.
But does he really count the cost
Of breaking a trusting heart
When he plunges into wrongfulness
Tearing someone's world apart?
Which may be true of many
Who act as if insane
By putting self ahead of those
Left crippled and in pain.
So, the lesson is for everyone
For whom it would apply
That we beware the dangers
When our thinking is awry.
