my response to the book I'm reading which really pissed me off with serendipity and positive thinking when what the world needs right now is constructive action.
A picture speaks a 1000 words
An action speaks a 100 thoughts
How you treat your mother
speaks more than your tweets
On Feminism.
So rise and shine
And wake up to this universal truth
Packaged as a secret
To make you excited~
Action counts more than thoughts!
All the wishful thinking in the world
Will conspire against you
Yellow brick road or not.
Serendipity may await the believer
At the end of the magical rainbow
Along with pots of gold.
Wash your face with the raindrops
And look at the reflection in the dirtypuddle
A lazy hypocrite praying without acting
Should not claim a windfall at all.
Also for Poet united's midweek motif The awakening
An action speaks a hundred thoughts...Nicely put!
ReplyDeleteThe wisdom you offer is wrapped in anger--or maybe the anger is wrapped in wisdom. To be cautioned on what we call a"an awakening" is quite important when actions show the words are lies.
ReplyDeleteIt's not what you say but what you do... agree
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteSamyuktha, I just saw your link, Mister Linky does not generate an alert, unfortunately! I would agree that books that claim to have the answers need to be read with some degree of caution, I've not read this book so don't know what it says. But I completely agree that one has to - walk the walk
ReplyDeleteYellow brick road or not.
Thanks for sharing with Poetry Tuesday and hope to see you this Tuesday too!
Right on! I particularly like,
ReplyDelete'How you treat your mother
speaks more than your tweets
On Feminism.'
I like that part, too.
DeleteActions speak louder than words
ReplyDeleteAction, especially informed action, will always be the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...actions are telling.
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you "Action counts more than thoughts"
ReplyDeleteThis is true but we have become a lazy race and far prefer others to do something rather than ourselves.
ReplyDeleteWell said. I had much the same reaction to The Secret.smiles.
