Thoughts Count


Substance amongst us
in abundance
The miracle
of spiritual material.
A system of assistance
and resistance
Twisting or kissing
our existence.

The cerebral cortex
a cathedral 
and vortex.

Complexion 
a collection
of connections
in the cerebral
section.

Neurons spawn Morons
Automatons
Phenomenons
and so on.

"Thinks"
become
Things.

It was imagined
and so it happened.

The thing formed
was
Brainstormed.

Power of Intention
Fire of Invention -
Intention inspires Invention.

I fashioned it
(and fastened it)
when I imagined it.

My real is built
to the hilt
in the direction
my affection tilts.

My world formed
or burned
by the words
and terms 
I learned.

Conception
or deception
an expression
of perception.

Construction
or destruction
by the concepts I
constructed.

I conceived it
before I believed it
and I believed it
before I achieved it
and received it.

It's in my mind
before it's mine.
It's a plan
then in my hand.
I will find it
when I mind it.

Cause...
and...
Effect.
(I pause for effect)
The thoughts I select
for my mind
cause the effects
that I find.

Ev'ry action
reaction
and distraction
happens from interaction
and transaction
with
The Law of Attraction.

Mind over Matter
Mind into Matter (see?)
The Master Factor -
Disaster or Mastery.

Belief brings relief
or
Generates grief.

Consciousness
conjures stress
or 
conquers it.

The result 
an insult?
Consult
the impulse.

Any objection
to the projection
that your selection
will be a reflection
of your mind's reflectin'?

Shrinking Thinking?
Stinking Thinking.
I'm thinking
that my shrinking thinking
is stinking.
I'm sinking 
by my thinking.

I thought it
and brought it.
He thought it
and bought it.
She thought it
and caught it.
We thought it
and wrought it.

EFF' it!


Inked on pages of ages
Quipped from lips of sages

Easing the brain's pain and grief
Releasing the peace of relief

Moving hordes toward more and better
Removing their fetters by letters

Spark in the darkness of night
Reviving the carcass to life

Wings that bring power of flight
Lift that gifts might to fight

Hatching feats through history
Snatching from defeat, victory

Tweak for the weak and rattled
Strength for length of the battle

Weapon gripped by steppin' warriors
Resource and recourse helpin' worriers

Conquering monsters and domains
Conjuring honor and acclaim

Leveling devils and mountains
Opening hope like fountains

Propelling the failing across
The tempest-tossed waters of loss

Popping bubbles and trouble formed
By endeavors never performed

The ever better clever letters
Of a thing we name EFFort.

Norm's Normal


Meet a character named Norm
Who's a caricature of the norm.

Always in his uniform
All his ways are uniform.

The worst thing in all Creation?
A nonstandard deviation.

Every step and move
Fits strict into a groove.

By all means toe the line!
So goes Norm's conformed mind.

This reality of normality
Courtesy of the mentality.

But

When Norm transforms
The uniform norm
Then Norm learns 
To be transformed.

"Monotony? Not for me!
Variety seems right to me.
Variety's the light for me.
Variety puts light in me --
A spice that's nice
On the rice of my life."

Conformity to uniformity:
Insanity of humanity.
The lameness and hilarity
Of sameness and similarity.

Formality of legality
O' rigged reality!
The bore needs more
Originality.

To vary can be scary
But to vary is very
Needful and necessary.
