My thoughts are as deep
as the core of the world,
bold and multi-colored,
a banner unfurled,
on the gray and dismal battlefield
of conventional thought
and banal dreams.
Are there words
that will never reach my lips
for fear they will be misunderstood?
possibly,
but we will see.
For history has proven to peasant and king
that unconventional thought is a dangerous thing.

Hi Ida,
An unconventional thought for many is a dangerous thing, not for the daring, like your thoughts in this poem. Prasad

Nodding, it can be, but thank goodness for those brave souls who do so anyway, as well for the fools who don't know any better.

Unconventional thought is the father of invention.

Love you, lady! You're a top chef!

Innovators have always had a hard row to hoe.

Your thoughts always get me to thinking!

Love to you, Dear Ida!

Our thoughts can sometimes get us into trouble. Thinking, just isn't a good thing for me to do. LOL! I really like this.
