Weigh it
Mull over it
When thoughts seep into the basin in your
mind.
Weigh it
Mull over it
Before you make a rash pronouncement
that he or she is ‘your love, your life, your
everything.’
Weigh it
Mull over it
When you reach the crossroads
And many a voice rattles off advice on the
paths to set your legs.
Weigh it
Mull over it
Before you (father or mother) plunge a
home into an abyss for a selfish cause.
Weigh it
Mull over it
Before you clasp to your heart their
verdicts to hoard ‘palliative’, loot public
wealth, promote degradation, and bankroll
criminals to take over peaceful protests.
