Think
Speak
Seek
Who cares
Make a stink
Share your view
Of you
Your words
Will do
Don’t hold back
Don’t follow
Old tracks
Think
Speak
Seek
No need
To be meek
Your thoughts
Must be told
Be bold
Don’t withhold
Think
Speak
Seek
You’ve only now
To take
Your bow
Don’t be afraid
Like God
You were made
What comes
To your mind
Is good
For mankind
What ever
It be
Think
Speak
Seek!
