Opposition of Mind


The mind is the most dangerous tool

Equip with the weapon of thought

And dripping with self-doubt and destruction

It is brutal

 

No one sees its true force

It has a way of capturing you

Forcing you into the depths of evil

Ideas drag your spirit down to hell

 

Emphasized by the tired cliches

“The mind is a cage for the beast within”

Never ending darkness emanates from the mind

Our lives only offer constant proof

 

Thoughts have the power to ruin relationships

Mothers, brothers, significant others

Over-thinking consumes us in the endless possibilities

We are left with the shambles of a connection

 

The mind leads the man to notions of power

It infects man, showing true human nature in his thoughts

Every gunshot in times of war

Leading to more death and destruction

 

Every action on this planet convincing us of the truth

All evidence leads to this conclusion

The human mind can be described in a single word

Terrible

 

Something that's terrible

Who's to say it can't be

Something that's wonderful

 

Wonderful

The human mind can be described in a single word

All evidence leads to this conclusion

Every action on this planet convincing us of the truth

 

Leading to more life and growth

Every helping hand extended in times of need

It empowers man, showing true human nature in his thoughts

The mind leads the man to notions of peace

 

Until we are blessed with a glorious connection

Our minds allow us to harness the endless possibilities

Mothers, brothers, significant others

Thoughts have the power to create relationships

 

Our lives only offer constant proof

Never ending light emanates from the mind

“The mind is a terrible thing to waste”

Emphasized by the frequent sayings

 

Ideas let your spirit soar to the heavens

Easing you into the depths of love

It has a way of capturing you

No one sees its true potential

 

It is honest

And overflowing with love and wonder

Graced with the capability of thought

The mind is the most beautiful tool
