Don’t Think Like Me
By Larry Chadwick



It seems natural to want my own way,
And insist that people think like me.
So I use the powers of my persuasion,
Convinced that when I’m done they’ll agree.

Yet not beyond trying manipulation,
If my efforts don’t achieve success.
But as events continue to develop,
There are some things I must confess.

If I were to accomplish what I wanted,
And all of you would agree with me
It has become so very obvious,
What a boring world this would be.

So now I’d like to make my case,
About the way things ought to be.
Whatever you think, is up to you,
But if you’re smart you’ll think like me

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,

let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart
