Brainstorm a Poem

How little we know How much we believe truth ever changing in our mind as new information arrives...and yet minds can turn away from truths emotion's hands are easy to follow and sow doubt to cloud truths we cling to our comfortable worlds of human folly not understanding reality is always changing life is always growing older death is inevitable and brains are used more often to destroy then create and build a flourishing environment where does it leave us as we pass through life oblivious to most things in creation knowing only struggles in our own worldview forgetting...we are only here once as we waste precious time arguing over trivial matters clinging on to strings wrapped around us by our own small groups finding comfort from fear in an unknown universe that gives life and takes life without concern where belief is more important than knowledge easier to develop stories of eternal life surrounded by winged creatures than to stare into an abyss of reality 10/19/18 contest Brainstorm

Mocking those abused here, not much of a brainstorm at all, I am surprised.

First this was about the blog post not this poem , second those abused often learn the behavior, an if you were beaten , no one deserves this of course, and I hope you have overcome it.

I don't see it, to me this piece speaks to my 'too smart to function' notion of of us feeble fallible humans. I could be missing something. xomo
