The Chain of Thought
Every single one of your thoughts
Links to yet another,
and every one you choose to have
Determines the very future.
The constant flow of all these thoughts
Can't be interrupted;
Even if a thought's not produced,
Another was constructed.
A simple law we might recall,
"For all actions, a reaction".
All thoughts create the next event,
Even all that time you spent
Pondering on what you should do
Molds the future's shape.
If this supposition would prove true,
Then what is our escape?
One solution is quite clear:
If the mind makes all these thoughts,
Then its death is what can halt
Further additions to the chain
Which is all that could sustain
You as life kept going.
Without a thought to keep a train,
Then all you knew becomes nothing.
