We like to think our conscious mind’s the guide,
The truth is previous planning’s done inside.
Electrodes placed inside a brain know prior,
Just what the conscious mind will soon decide.
Moreover we can act without made plans,
Because a hypnotist told us to when under.
Unconscious fears can make us wash our hands,
Or break a close relationship asunder.
Suggestion’s force is strong, and has the power
To change our taste, our sight, our sense of pain
Conditioned reflexes triggered may cause anger
And actions to hurt others we disdain.
Inside our brain’s the history of our life.
Our mind that’s conscious shows a tiny slice.
