Over-thinking

 I died of being sensible

They lived by being cruel

And not that it's defensible

But I'm going back to school

I need to learn that kindness kills

If not your health, then your thrills

It stops the natural order coming

The instincts aren't surrendered to

But replaced by rational thinking


Thinking, thinking where's that got me?

Down the street chewing toffee

Chewing on my cup of meat

Drinking down my coffee

Thinking, thinking it has scoffed me

Taken my time and torn it off me

Knocked me on my ass

Put my head through the glass

Mistaken the stars and moon for trash

Thinking where's that got me?


Oh to be free of

This need to look after me tod

Just a will to fill the stomach

Leaves the heart and genitals redundant

Nothing for them to do but fester

Then at some later time pester

You into action, but you'll survive

To live another day, or strive

Because whether we live or just survive

This is our lot and these are our lives
