A Reflection

My thoughts are like children

That have been let out of school.

They are free of the teachers eyes

And soon forget the golden rule.

 

But I try to rein them in

And not make a fool of me.

Like it or not they are a reflection

Of the guy who set them free.

That's good, George! We should all be like that. If anyone feels like calling you a fool it's just going to reflect they ARE being the foolish ones because they don't know how to be themselves to enjoy life.

...something magical about your poem George
...a sense of nostalgia ...or sheer elation
at the prospect of so many thoughts in one
spot...playing like a kid again...No wonder
it is busy!

Much better to let those wild stallions roam than try to corral them.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
