About This Poem

11 PERCENT

The elusive soul
hasn't revealed its location.
Upon receipt,
the body sheds 21 grams.
Your final die-it!

                Scientists are baffled
                searching the brain for answers.
                Something we only use 10% of.
                That leaves a 90%  revelation
                of idiocy!

The brain thinketh,
within limits. The
"Heart" goes beyond
those limits.
For it is the way God
deals with us.
So it is there,
I believe the soul resides!

11% of thinking......

    A brilliant piece, Marlon! The brain, the heart, the soul... you have characterized each of them with distinction. I'm with you... 'the soul resides! Best wishes, Keith

    Great piece! You and I see eye to eye when it comes to spiritual truth. Try within limits versus with limits.

    How true that the brain has limits butt it still is the most amazing organism on the planet. When I think of what it is capable of I am humbled. Trouble is we don't devloper it to full potential. This one makes me think!
