Thought provoking thoughts which give rise to debate
Intended influences, premeditated ideas on rebate
That is what I seek every time I pick up a pen
Let some reflections roam your mind again and again
Sentiments given shape and infused with a passion
Shedding superficiality and empty banter now in fashion
That is what I attempt every time I pour out words
My refrains are for the discerning and not for the herds
A world out there as I see it and as I hope it will become
Optimism, some idealism, pragmatism, then some
That is what I aspire every time I communicate
I await your rejoinders oh it’s such an interesting wait
New lyrics for old opinions old adages for new fodder
Toss off longstanding stances some topsy turvy is in order
That is what I ultimately hope to achieve
Some attitudes to hold on to, some tenets to sieve
Sometimes I desire to simply get across, sometimes I serve
A warning bell to leave your comfort zone hoping to unnerve
That is why my tumultuous thought process refuses to settle
Till viewpoints invoke reaction and tests true mettle
So beautifully written 👏
