Whatsoever things are lovely , think upon these. Having the mentality to differentiate fully And having the egocentricity to separate The wheat from the common chaff Silicate or sand from a priceless diamond Or the simplest act of kindness of a Samaritan Even when all your five senses are tested Visit that sixth sense , that gut feeling to see. Each and every element to the smallest atom Registers on your inbuilt Richter scale That with good taste and selective education Having been able to weight up the pros n cons Intelligence accumulated over a few years or so Nothing slips through the net. Or cybernetics Google will see to that in the blink of an eye. So whatever things are lovely. Think of those And go of to sleep at night like an innocent Reactions not influenced by the course of day Exercise your brain to think of lovely things. Lakes of serenely calm waters , sailing craft Or of a majestic pair of black swans and signets Velvet cushions housing your beautiful jewels Every loving keepsake your partner has granted Lilies of the valley displays upon mothers table Your grandmothers smile as she reads to you Things that are lovely, think upon these things Have not a care for the state of the Nation It is not in our individual remit to be involved No only worry about where you have control. Know that if you have the power to fix it Usually you fix it , without procrastinating Procrastination is the thief of time. So act. On those odd occasions where you fail to act No points are added it’s a diminishing return The task is never as tough as you thought Having opted to think of the beautiful things Each mindset that you have is sweet smelling Smelling like a nosegay in an English garden Excite your mind and think upon these things So , my friend learn from my humble experience
