The Thinker
Words and words swirling through the maze,
clogged up in the mind, the jungle, the haze,
theories pushing up against the walls,
butting them with their jagged heads,
skirting around the islands of simple peace,
too intelligent to go ashore and sit in the sun,
marvel at the crystal waters and think of nothing,
always thinking that peace is in the knowing,
the self-acquired theories that
outweigh all others,
that turn heads upon being revealed,
a conversational piece that improves
one’s intellectual ranking,
too many thoughts in contention with others,
a war of ego verses objectivity,
the love of knowing or the love of boasting,
or theories initiated by adversity,
a feeling of rejection, loneliness, depravity,
obsacles in the road to self-awareness,
introspection averted by the sins of egotism,
too many words to balance on the scale,
peace and knowledge fighting for recognition,
too many words, too heavy,
the definition of peace misunderstood,
too many words and words and words and words.
