Think for Yourself

By tommyjoe

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

“Think for yourself, Question authority” -Tool, “Third Eye” Think for yourself A great line for our society Of followers And non-thinkers. In this day and age Most people don’t think They follow They follow what’s on TV What’s on the radio Whatever medium they enjoy, They follow “Buy this…” “Buy that…” We are a society of consumers We buy what they tell us to The shampoo that makes our hair magically soft And gives us an orgasmic experience while washing The cola that Britney Spears drinks The make-up that Tyra Banks wears We listen to these people Who have no place to talk If you drink Pepsi, do you begin to look like Britney Spears? Tyra Banks looks great without the make-up, too Think for yourself Buy what you need Question authority Is it really an authority? Should it be an authority? Is it your authority? Tyler Durden knows what he is talking about We buy what we don’t need… And listen to those that put themselves up on the pedestal Think for yourself Question authority.
