Thought vs Action

I can think about anything in this whole wide world
So can you, if you so desire to think of such things
We can sit and pontificate till our brains roll out

None of it will cause even the slightest bit of change
No amount of thought has ever altered human nature
Life will be as life has always been, regardless of your head

That is why it is your duty, nay your very privilege
To run into the streets with your axes and your pitchforks
And change the world the way the world has always changed

With definite and defiant action, streaming from your limbs
Go out and fight your demons with a baseball bat
Kill your inhibitions and your fears with real action

Thought will encourage more thought and no change
Action will encourage more action and change
What we have is too much thought and no action

To do something, anything will cause some kind of change
Once change has occurred, thought is needed
But until the calendars mark such a date

We must burn down the cities without thought
We need to blow ourselves into oblivion and back again
To finally understand that words are not enough

To change a world
Thought will always come in second
To the might of physical motion
