For Your Consideration

Please
please
don't let
sound minds be
taken in. Programmed
from an early age, it's likely
to feel so much like the truth that it's never questioned.
Experienced minds must sharply explore; future lives depend on old ones' new thinking.

That is a very intersting thought, until you step back and realise it's happening, you'd never notice. I think I shall try to step back more often and see what I take for granted - enjoyed your poem today.

I am reading through your poetry and am getting more and more captivated. I like the levels that can be read into this--thinking of people now; as well as karma from past lives. Most of the world does believe in reincarnation. God's the greatest recylcer there is. KJ

Nancy.....this is why folks get drawn into cults. Immature thinking, never questioning with depth. This is full of wisdom, especially that future lives depend on old one's new thinking. Best to you, Gwendolen
