A Mind

A mind is amazing
It can do tremendous things

It can present false assumptions
and even take wings

A mind can soar away to the dungeon or the sea
trapped in fear or free

The world is like an iron oar
but the mind comes back lake a dagor or....
like the limb of a dismal tree

'Tis better to the sea where it will be so free
than to suffer under the iron oar, beneath in the dungeon unseen
