Replying to a comment on:

Thinking (Free verse) by dancin_n_da_moonlite

Sometimes I wonder if people ever think anymore, if people ever think at all. Or if they just do whatever seems right at the moment, regardless of whether or not it actually is. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is planning for the future. It wont take care of itself, you know. Someone must tend to it. Sometimes I wonder if anybody is thinking.

The cheap comment would be to say that I wonder if you were you thinking when you wrote this poem.

The pretentious comment would be wonder whether the notion of something 'actually' right implies a belief in an objective and unchanging moral system and so the piece is effectively a piece of neo-Kantian thought and so an attack on the relativism of post-structuralist discourse.

The kind comment would be to say that it is an interesting idea but really requires further work.

The honest would be that this isn't a bad poem as such, it's just rather simplisitc, doesn't really seem to do anything, and leaves me cold.

Take your pick.
