MINDSCAPE

I think of things on my mind

I am a great one of a kind

One of a different kind;

For my mind is a different mind.

My mind is free, I live for I think.

No crown or gold can change my thinking spree

And no one can take away that which I think.

Whether I am lonely or penniless

My mind to me is a thinking thing.

The boundless wealth: my imagination.

Come, walk with me and let's stroll.

Along the coast of a mind serene

Come, let us wander in pure imagination

And dream of great and marvellous expectation.

Let us build castles not in the air

Let us build castles in the stars!

Let us build castles of pure thoughts

As we forget our hurting scars!

And with thoughts let's change the world.

Will you build with me?

Forget the enemies - give them no thoughts,

Remember the friends - cherish them with wit,

Remember the world - water it to abundant life.

- Jude Adebosoye Ogunade Ghana, 2000
