Emotions

Emotions and thinking
overlap or separate
But when emotions dominate
Thinking is suppressed
Emotions ebb and flow
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we pry
More we like or hate something
More the emotions surge
More the realization grows
Feelings are nothing
Just unconscious thoughts
But plethora of emotions is a fatal
Manage it with intelligence
Display of emotion is natural and universal
But to display it
At the proper time’
With a proper person
To a proper degree
For a proper reason
Is prerequisite for peaceful life
