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.

I suppose if you wanted to chat a girl up, but you were a bit shy. She would know you wanted to chat her up, and she might think to herself. No, Paul, I do not want to go out with you, I'm washing my hair that year. No machine will fix that girl.
Haha. Thank you. Happy New Year.
Indeed better seen and not heard as the old adage goes.
True. Happy New Year.
Very true Rozina.

Thank you.
Thank you for your comments. I just looked up the articles about the record teenage homicides partly fueled by social media during the lockdowns. And increased suicides too worldwide. Online bullying. Really tragic.
Wonderfully written here Rozina, and yeah when the filter is turned off, it can be very dangerous, but sometimes it has to happen, in order to get a clear message out.
There is too much fakery in the world, so, clarity is key, but as you've said in the last stanza, there is also too much violence as well.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
Thank you very much for your comments. Yes all is well. Looking forward to a better year.
Wow!
Thank you.
