Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Where the Brain Does Not Reign

       From the ridiculous to the sublime
            it’s all in the mind 

       Severe depression or ecstasy unbound
            one’s a mind unhinged, the other’s sound

       Be it a sunny outlook or forever rain
            look to the influence of the brain

       Yet neither can fully explain ~
            addiction to heroin or cocaine

sara Etgen-Baker October 12, 2025 at 3:56 PM I appreciate the humanity in your thought provoking words....hard to explain addiction and how one person can have peraliction towards negativity, depression, and addiction...perhaps it's in the brain or in the thinking....much to ponder here
