herdthink ...
if the furniture of your mind
all came from IKEA
if you have not
an original idea
if you think Ray Hadley
is your rough diamond Jesus
you are probably a far
cry from genius
if all you believe
and all you conceive
is Alan Jones
or 9 on the teev
if all that you've said
and all that you've heard
challenges not
and runs with the herd
if all that you've heard
and all that you've said
makes you
a derivative ditto head
think for a bit
and marshal a thought
test every idea
that you ever bought
run it up against
a value frame
does it work? Is it
worth your name?
do it with care
you know that you should
get a grip
on all that is good
you don't have to accept
swallow and follow
you alone can
make your tomorrow
break from the herd
all fears surmounted
be your own hero
stand up and be counted
A refute of uncritical thought and mediocrity.
