Critical thinking—
A forgotten skill.
Once was a given,
And should be still!
Too long expected
To accept the norm.
No thought employed—
What’s the harm?
Perhaps the norm
Came into being
Through long ago times—
No insight seeing.
Critical thinking
Can be unsettling—
Why rock the boat?
Are we just meddling?
“We had the truth”,
And knew what to do.
Just ask us, friend—
You haven’t a clue.
Did we REALLY know
Or blindly accept
Our group has the “truth”
Are others inept?
Starting today,
I’ll examine my views,
Ask lots of questions
And hope you will too.
Did I judge others?
My role is to love.
Judging’s God’s job—
Think on this brother!
