A Thought On Thought Poem by Fred Babbin
A Thought On Thought
I think that all higher animals - primates, mammalian and ornithic pets, etc. 'think' to a certain extent.
Why do I think?
There is no alternative.
I am condemned to think,
To be obsessed with thinking—
But so is my dog.
'..condsemned to think..'.Yes the power to think is a boon as well as a curse. Kudos to your thought Sir sathya narayana
If only we could know what our dogs are thinking! I wouldn't be surprised if they were laughing at us w/ our obsession of ourselves
You say 'higher animals' but I wonder how you make the distinction between them and the supposed lowers. If they can all think, surely there is no lower? Made me think! Thank you. Love Effie.
This poem made me grin to my ears. You know, I never really thought about it, but it's true. Which kinda scares me...
Ya got me to thinking. Ever hear of LaGrange Il, or Brookfield? God bless all poets-MJG.
