A Thinking Person
Go seeking hear the drum beat strum the strings watch the smoke swirl your reaching your contacting
The mystery it not so much that it hides but you must gain its attention by showing respect and ernest
Interest so goes the world it drifts over head by the billowy clouds to stop it have it to stand still you
Must shout not outwardly it pays no mind the world is full of sounds but the quiet pondering of an open
Mind it can’t resist it to seeks a resting place a fertile spot to engage lofty thoughts to cast wide and far
Mental exhibitions clothed in wisdom armed for the long fight with prudence a sword that has faced
Many adversaries some are too quick some to slow the one who discerns the middle ground where the
Fight can be pressed or you can fall back not in defeat but to reweigh evaluate study cross purposes
Advantage disadvantage solid ground never reached by indiscriminate means the foolish only fall by
Pride and embarrass themselves by rash actions well thought out deeds are rarely up for criticism to build
Permanence in anything your thoughts must be deliberate and you must be flexible and all must be
Slowly processed because haste does make waste our concerns are of a dwelling that will exist here and
Now but will thrive and continue into the far future the true test of success will it remain last through
Mighty storms that is why you must first prepare clear all of the debris nothing inferior must stand or be
Mixed with great edifices they will loom and speak that same silence you started this venture with
Anyone can enter a boisterous crowd and be lost in the den and clamor but he who stands at a
Distance receives the attention of the crowd and is heard is the one who will sway the masses by reason
He will be followed and his ideas will be acted on and they will make a difference in the outcome of the
World simple is best how many lost the fight in too many unnecessary details fight with two mental
giants the one is profundity by profound logic every argument will die the others to airy they don’t
possess enough high caliber intent and the other hardness to many are soft and seek short cuts is any
one impressed by this who builds their life on weakness as its corner stone make it of granite it has to
last not just in the transitory but in the eternal
