Narrow Minded

Confined within the steep banks of a narrow mind is a cryptic river where men stumble in and go blind They construct reinforced dams that hold them back from accepting the candid truth, white is not black Like the slow-moving current of a trickling stream their thoughts are clogged and clot like curdled cream What chance do the recalcitrant ones have to accept reality if they allow no vision of being circumspect of taking fault and blame for having a closed mind? These are the ignorant, the foolish ones aptly defined as those destined to stagnate until they decompose It's the subsequent end to the stubborn who oppose a new premise or concept with which they don't agree They rot inside prisons of conceit, a human tragedy
