The Human Mind is a Devious Organ

The human mind is a devious organ! It suppresses, exaggerates, or bends all the information it receives It scans the data thoroughly, never missing an entry Inspecting every action ever done, every word ever spoken, every thought ever thought of Does -------- show our deviant tendencies? Or does -------- highlight our positive attributes? Its manipulations give us the opportunity to be content with how we've lived our lives To feel like we are ultimately good people As if what we've done that’s good balances what we've done that’s wrong As if we can erase our mistakes with good deeds and kind words That just maybe, maybe, we won’t rot in hell and be pitied into the embrace of eternal bliss However, the truth is that we can’t ever take back those cruel words that we've spoken We can’t ever erase those actions that we've done We can’t ever go back in time to change any of that Our minds can only Shrink Expand Hide And lie.
