Think [writing task eleven]

Don't you think we have an uncanny knack
of saying things before we think or
have thought them through, although
they do contain a degree of truth?
A prime example:
through the tears and screams
you jump conclusions and say things
as they seem,
without full judgement. One sided. Defense or Prosecution.
But who are we to judge by evidence worded,
with more emotion than self-control
or regard for the future that might unfold
and present moments that are all around.
How can we admit what it is we want
When we don't know or feel
all our thoughts touch ground?
And yet we think we know what it is we want
but really we only think that we think we know,
What we want and what we actually get is
a product of uncontrollable factors, a huge budget
we never feel amongst our fingers.
And through a lack of thinking the truth upsets
and a lack of composure wraps us up in regret
you should forgive as well as forget
because it's harder to absorb than it is to deflect.
