Of Mind and Men


Dear Small Mind,

grow. you were made to Flower.

expand. you were made to Balloon.

fight. you were made for Justice.

think. you were made for Thought.

Small Mind you have to be these things

you have to save the world

you have to fight wars and

see people through their eyes

a blurred, faded lens.

Small Mind you must do these things

so when the stars fade and the sun turns to dust

all that's left is

You. and your Open Vast Mind.

as wide and lovely as the Night Sky.
