They Say

they tell me:
logic is an enemy
they say:
don't dare to think.
stones don't think
toys don't think.

they say: (if you must)
think like a tree,
remain voiceless.
do plants question where their planted?

they say:
i am a log without a bump
a cloud devoid of vapor

they say:
your in safe hands
as a mother's loving touch

i say:
i am suspect

it is in God that i will trust.

A wise poem, that shows us it is not people we can trust. I have learned this over and over, and still do not "get it" completely, trying again.
