There are practicals,
and prodigals,
ethicals,
and audibles,
fast and slow,
and not-at-alls,
focused,
and pachinko balls.
Optimists
and pessimists,
always fighting
over a chalice.
And opportunists who take a drink,
while the others act with malice.
Self-absorbed,
and selfless minds,
helping themselves,
or spending time
at soup kitchens
behind the line,
making sure
others can dine.
Open-minds
listen to others,
although, sometimes,
a bit too much.
Closed-minds
have stalwart opinions
and do not listen
as such.
Under-thinkers
and over-thinkers
often make mistakes,
because they stop thinking before they act
or never put down the mental brakes.
All these minds,
in this world,
thinking
all the time.
How great would it be,
if once in awhile,
people used their minds.
