A chapter in the book Miscellaneous Poems Vol 2

Think for yourself

by CD Richards

To follow blindly others' steps
Has very little merit
Ideas are what have forged our world
New concept? Build and share it
Knowledge gained will make you great
Fortify your mind
Observe and learn throughout your life
Research, and then opine
You'll never grow by mimicking
Other peoples' way
Use what you've got to find your own
Revising every day
Seek to know your place on
Earth, and then you'll find you've grown
Look round, look up, look to yourself
For your life is your own
