I was thought out thinking

I was thought out thinking…

Think if you can travel as a thought,
being the spark that shares wealth with
those that have nought. Giving comfort
to the heart just broken, or great meaning
to the good person’s words spoken.
Halting those who roam with murder in mind,
creating something or someplace to reach
and teach all of Earth's creatures to be kind.
Discovering a way where no creature or plant
goes without.That we’d only ever eat enough,
never again wear our over indulgent snout.
But alas this is not within my power i fear,
I am but one with one simple idea. It would
take us all feeling the same way to make
it clear.
Helping us see what an absolute
this could be, if everyone tried thinking
about what they first thought.

this is awesome roscoe
the idea behind it
I think it needs a tiny little cull, just to get rid of a few superfluous words
and also needs to be broken into stanzas – to make the reader stop and think after each thought (lol – no pun intended)

just my thoughts

Think if you can travel as a thought,
being the spark that shares wealth with those that
have nought.

Giving comfort to the heart just broken,
or great meaning to the good person’s
words spoken.

Halting those who roam with murder in mind,
creating something or someplace where all
(of us that are) creatures can be kind. – (lose the bracketed)

Discovering a way where no creature
or plant goes without.
That we’d only ever eat enough, never again
wear(ing) our over indulgent snout - (lose the ‘ing)

But alas I fear this is not within the power of me, (I’d say ‘my power’ – hang the rhyme for the proper syntax)
as I am just one and I fear we’d all have to
have the same way of thinking to see. (I’d also drop the ‘to see’)

but if you really want the rhyme
maybe something like
this is not within my power, alas I fear,
as I am just one and we’d all have to be
thinking the same thoughts as each of our peers

What an absolute this could be, if everyone
tried thinking about what they first thought

great finish
love judy

Judy, i have applied some of the changes, though not in the way you suggested. I like to hide the rhyme a little, as i feel it is more enjoyable when worked for. I hope there are some who agree. Again i say thank you for your time and help. Love Roscoe..

The children in my book and on the tapes I have here, of me talking to them for hours. They talk words to me through someone else simply because, I don't think talk as they all do, it is the way of the universe.
They have to be taught how to speak in proper talk.
It is a great theme and we use think talk in other ways, and we have checked things, to prove that they can do many things.
I enjoyed your write it meant a lot to me,
Yours Ian.T
