The Mind

Who can tell
what goes in one's mind?
More complex than
this awesome universe,
It is Nature's formidable labyrinth,
It is Nature's unique creation.

It is omnipotent
It is a reflection of
our indomitable spirit,
It is an echo of our heartbeats,
It is the core,
It is the beginning and
It is the end of life.

It is where Life unfolds
its infinite spectrum of time,
It is where Death
takes its final refuge,
It is its own world,
It is its own hell and
It is its own heaven.

It is clear as day and
It is dark as night,
It is evil and
It is divine,
It is a perpetrator
of the vilest crimes,
It is a seat of supreme justice.

It is where the Devil first appeared,
It is where God was born!

*          *          *          *

     Man's Alter ego

In his moments of weakness
Man created God,
Fear made him
make the devil;

He created God
in his own image,
In his own image
he made the devil.
