The deconstruction of the mind

The narrow mind finds its deconstruction

in the narrowness of its recesses,

the shrinking of the passages due to

mindless subscription to popular opinion.

Popular is hardly as popular as is popularly regarded;

the thinking and actions are time-retarded.

The deconstruction of regard

high, low or otherwise, broken into shards

 

of the sharpest, glassiest, most able-to-shred

the very skin of the consciousness of your Own Thinking.

Own thought is never sold,

though never have stories been told

wherein success was gained through sheeping along

singing that song, the damned popular song.

Never has milestone or breakthrough been achieved,

neither have bloodthirsty knives been sheathed.

Any person in South Africa should understand where the root of this piece can be found. If our society remains thinking mediocrely, we will remain in a mediocre (at best!) state where things go the way they’re going. People, become conscious, I beg you!
