Mind Your Thoughts

Suppose all your thoughts

Of people or things you see

Suddenly blare out in the air

To be heard by you and me

 

Would that passerby scream

\"You lousy dirty old man!

Want to see me in my birthday suit?

I\'ll hit you with my pan!\"

 

Or the policeman says

\"STOP. Do not move from here

You\'re not driving anywhere

With that amount of beer!\"

 

What if the boy screams

\"Mum, that man called me a Bad Word

You said you\'d spank me if I did

Spank that man with the beard!\"

 

What if 2 world presidents

Spoke nice words in front of the news

But as they spoke, their thoughts blared out

\"That idiot always has an excuse!\"

 

Better hope this doesn\'t happen

In the near or far away future

Chaos and world wars will triple

And lots of folk will need a suture!

 

I read the poems The Right Word by Accidental Poet, My silence is my undoing by NafisaSB, Deep in Thought by fallenAngel. Regrets. Words not uttered. It got me thinking, overthinking (a disease - by Spilleronsheet). If our minds are read and our thoughts are heard, done by machines in the future, how frightening it will be.
