those phony smiles say it all,
the blank look of the brainwashed,
the silly smile, so proud
to be a robot, listening
to dogma while the brain
quests for answers, yet shut up
tightly like a laboratory
specimen, pickled to preserve
other people’s thoughts,
other people’s ancient books,
other people’s hatred of science.
We want answers that is true and sceince has a way of revealing truths that some really don't realize is there. I actually am glad of sceince because it has proven a lot of things that the naysayers can't disprove. I truly believe that religion and sceince can go hand and hand. Because something higher than we ourselves made it all work.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
Happy Easter To You!!
Love Tinka
