As I was getting ready to go to work,
A nagging thought came to mind.
Each morning, when a new day begins,
There are tasks to keep in mind.
Out in the city, driving to wor,k
On the busy traffic you set your mind.
Sometimes you arrive at Office late,
Your boss gives you a piece of his mind.
And when the boss makes foolish decisions,
You're almost compelled to speak your mind.
However, to avoid seeing him fly
Into a rage and lose his mind,
You decide to keep quiet and remain still,
For wisdom tells you to change your mind.
Win an argument and lose your job?
In such situations you must make up your mind.
Or lose to a fool and keep your job,
In this matter you can't be in two minds.
At times, you seem meek and timid to others,
They don't know what goes on at the back of your mind.
You have learnt to bear with petty people,
And often tell yourself, "Never mind".
After years of working with both wise and foolish,
The experience broadens your mind.
At the end of the day, you look back and see,
The best thing to do is, "Mind your mind."
Mind your mind.
