confusion



Is this a state of mind
Or confused moment
The mind of man is strange
To adapt and adopt itself
To strange situations
And then undertake to undertake
The strangest phenomenon
You may ever see
This confused state may seem
Simple yet so complex
For some say sleep will set it right
But it will follow like a second nature
All cannot confuse with
Daily problems of life
Confusion confuse only
Those weak willed, weak minded
Faint hearted and faltering
Any confusion can be cleared
When you hold your mind
For it’s the mind that plays the havoc
Makes one young, old, wild mortals.
