Brain Storm



The trouble with the world today
is that we read too much into things
why not read into a book or poetry?
read into your heart
see what it tells you
debate the issues that need debating
keep the diversely interpretated simplistic
and you will find it's margin of beauty
do not take advice from Poor Richard
live, experience, succeed, fail, learn
do not take the wrong circumstances
to the extreme, freedom is expendable
you could wind up conforming to poverty
because someone took a power-trip
if you rebell, do not take it too far
unless it means "everything"
I think people who grew up in poverty
understand something others do not
but I am not a Democrat, the trouble is
we say too much- therefore, we contradict
