Our Brains

Our brains become somewhat rutted
Running constantly within the same track
But let someone confront with deeper wisdom
Then our lightbulb can be turned back (on)

For some it would be easier to run a mudslide
Back up the slippery slope of time
Than to get the brain to light up and burn
From new ideas, knowledge to absorb

You're so right, Sara. I don't understand why people don't relish knowledge and new ideas. Guess we're running out of light bulbs. Sad, but true. Love, Carolyn

Hey lady, you hit the nail right square on the head with this powerful write. The truth, if ever it was told. Wisdom in todays carnal mind driven world is met like a plague unleased to do harm. When actually it is the only thing that will save us from destruction of the mind driven greed; that loves the dollar. Agape, Moses
