Art of thinking

How are we supposed to be better,

When we are gullible like children

Believing everything we see, and hear

Even without giving it a deep thought

When we are Christians but do not believe in God’s word

“No weapon formed against Israel shall prosper”

And his unconditional love

But easily believe in witch craft?

How are we supposed to get better,

When we spend every day in churches

Offering tithe, expecting wealth

As our church leaders keep brainwashing us each day,

Yet we don’t want to sweat

When we don’t believe we are all equal

Before our creator, God

For Him to speak to us directly,

Gullible enough to believe in mediators

To represent us before God?

How are we supposed to be a different generation,

When we are marrying for the money and convenience

Than love

And later the children encounter

The circumstances of our wrong choices

When human lives cost as much as a bag of sugar,

When murdering, stealing and rape are

As easy as a piece of cake?

Our minds clouded with negativity

So much hate and bias, selfishness and jealous.

How do we make a different generation,

That’s free from all social vices

When we can’t be held accountable

For the wrong decisions we make in life

That drag us to failure, poverty and death?

But instead, we look for someone to blame

Enemies, family members, the devil.

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
