The Brain

The brain Like a bird that will start fighting And quite fiercely too, I must say With his image in the mirror He must defeat him, come what may And you’ll see him in this struggle Silly bird, he does not know That the mirror simply fools him So he keeps pecking, he won’t go What a violent confrontation His opponent won’t give up So the bird just keeps attacking And he does not care to stop It’s his brain, he can not help it For it lacks the intellect So this ’crazy’ bird behavior Is not one he can correct But not us, enlightened humans For we are wise enough to know That encounters with our nature Should encourage us to grow That is if we were to notice Traits and qualities not so nice We should not be in denial But do away with every vice Don’t ignore and don’t get angry When confronted show some sense Do accept a fair correction Don’t just jump into defense Because virtues will bring blessings They will keep you wise and sane Be intelligent, be humble For you have a human brain.
