Today's Poem

Use Your Mind

Use your mind, more power is there
Than any machine you'll find and share
And who's impressed by gadgets and toys
If our potential this destroys

Read on and think, there's more by far
Mankind seeks out the furthest star
It's in our blood and in our dreams
And often life's not what it seems

So what to do now all is near?
The masses could be lost in fear
The future's waiting to take hold
There's more to life than growing old

Action now is what we need
Beyond material gains and greed
The best of life shall now unwind
So long as you will use your mind

(c) Simon J. Halliday 2013

 Reviews of "Use Your Mind"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on October 30, 2013
Two things should not be wasted: the mind and time. Our mind is only sharp for a short time in our youth and time is limited for us all. So many of us spend our time on mindless pursuits trying to overcome the boredom of living in the 21st century, far removed from our hunter and gatherer days of meager subsistence thousands of years ago.

Your call for using the mind should be heeded because we have to apply all of our mind power to solve the upcoming problems this century presents.

Ron
