Brick wall built
I know best
Whales on reverse parking
Elephants doing a spin on break dance floor
Ever heard an educated man, being so naive?
There is nothing more dangerous than that, I say
When such beings, go fanatical with their beliefs
Refusing to budge, crazy on the subjects
Life is transformational, seasons too
We sleep, we wake, we grow an inch
Or lose an inch, depending on stage
On the line of the ageing scale, where
We stand on reference, as referenced post
'Don't take the mickey your time will come son'
In-between all that
We evolve, we adapt, we upgrade
And learn our lessons in, class out, school out
Graduation stands, just as symbols of passage
University of life, the obstacle course
Now that is where, real life lessons are learnt
True story, everything here on earth
Changes shape to adapt, "in thinking"
Water from solid, liquid to vapour and reversed
Even the earth tectonic plates
Are in constant change on route
Shifting now is the horn of Africa
But when a man with educated intelligence
Holds thoughts with no sway
Like brain in a jar, brick wall built
Like the stand still
Of the revolving door, earth
Innocent people end up suffering
amazing poem gr8 thought's hope u'll like mine , keep up the good work :)
