Is It Auspicious Good When A Thinker Is Thinking? Poem by Terence George Craddock
Is It Auspicious Good When A Thinker Is Thinking?
people watch the thinker thinking serious thoughts
people think it is good when people stop sit think seriously
but what if it is not what if the thinker is planning murder evil
what if the thinker is planning wars destruction of countries
if the thinker plans evil acts exploitation disasters wars
do we let the thinker fly or clip the thinkers flight wings
now questions arise who decides has power right or wrong
in many ways the thinker is the ideal of the Renaissance man
the 'rebirth' European civilization striving for knowledge a revival
of Classical learning wisdom abilities to create a better world
people forgot the classical world was also devoted to war conquest
the problem then and today is the scientific exploitation of ideas
technologies developed for war not peace do not build better worlds
Written in November 2020 on the 5&20.11.2020.
Inspired by the poem 'Thinker's Invisible Wings' by the poet Yiyan Han.
Dedicated to the poet Yiyan Han.
