Be glad your thoughts stay in your head
not sounded through a big loud hailer
as you walk through crowded streets with neighbours.
Not displayed on banners above your head
as you lie with your loved one in your bed.
Just imagine what would be found
if those thoughts were all around, spewed forth
like a ticker tape of what you sound in mind?
Be glad your thoughts are not just read
by all that look upon your head.
Just think if they were put on show
as about your work you go,
or someone at your side
said to all, those thoughts you hide.
Do you think your face might just turn red
if all those thoughts were said?
