Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

No Brains

Leaders are broken
too many old men are outspoken
because the other is wrong
never makes all old men right
experts will tell you science
extremists will proclaim gods will
the world does spin around the sun
no matter
the church burns you for other views
reality
is often the devil
for telling the truth

Wisdom from the garden
of Galileo Galilei
drink wine
instead of breaking plates
love holds no anger

Sami Al-Khalili December 8, 2018 at 4:09 AM "reality is often the devil for telling the truth" is a thought-provocative metaphor.
