Yes, Mind



Yes, Mind

The mind, our curious curio that binds
Do you mind or never mind, it’s all confined
Yet thru’ actions our minds reach all kinds
To think is the exercise that stretches our mental lines

Not automatic but required to be taught like mathematics
For logic allows us to distinguish reality from magic
Your mind grasping rationality instead of gasping like an asthmatic
Emotions that sway happy, confuse or torture are all mind gymnastics

Careful at who you smile they could be emotional lunatics
Walk around and see the deliberate lunacy clinging like tics
But fear too grips minds, for changing or shifting can be heavy lifting
Regardless of reality, sanity is often viewed as profanity

Cognitive dissonance is a dance that can lead to a plunge off a cliff
Nothing as sclerotic as a mind regardless that will not shift
Is this you, or me or all of us that sometimes decree?
A human mistake that can lead to regret and the banishment of glee
