The inspiration for this poem was an advert for a brand of chewing gum. It raised the question in my strange mind about that little voice in your head that can provide reminders of the consequences ofbehaviours.
Mind Mouth
If your mind had a mouth what would
it say,
would it tell the world your state
of play,
divulge each individual whim,
no secrets hidden from him.
Would mind mouth provide useful
advice,
help you avoid risk at any price,
keep you on the straight and
narrow,
flying to your target like an
arrow.
Or has mind mouth loose lips,
will it sink all your ships,
deviously formulating it’s own
plans,
taking power from your hands.
Is mind mouth a helpful conscience,
or laden with doom filled scenarios
in abundance,
preparing for you the blackest
mood
to face situations increased stress
accrued.
Mind mouth is in your control,
both useful and the other end of
the pole,
can give you strength in your need,
and restrictions from which to be
freed.
