The Human Mind Poem by AHO Speaks

The mind contains everything the human will come to see
Even if blind their touch will draw a picture for them to be
To see the truth it must have its very own key.

Who among us the story to be told
What our sense's do for each one of us is purer than gold
One needs to have life for the picture to unfold.

I was born a boy they called a male son
My mind filled with thoughts and questions of who I was to become
It took a very long time to realize earthly life is measured by our sun.

My childhood was a journey of people, places and things
An older brother who was my hero and adversary for just about everything
Where he went so did I or at least I tried
Pushing and shoving until I retreated or else I cried.

We fill our minds with things of the past
Little time to thank our God for the content of yesterday, which went too fast
Too often we act like a sail boat trying to move without a mast.

The human mind is humanites holy Grail to do what we can
Our sense of becoming a being not acknowledged so we fail as a man
As a child I thought as a child and did the things of a child but as a man confusion began.

As a young man my measuring cup was used for what is right and what is wrong
At one time I was the future to become the present but never really felt to either I did belong
It was the music of my time that I ofen found my niche in the words of a song.

Listen to the voices of children released from school at recess time
Truly they echo the sound of glee from the mind of the divine
Each gender to have their time to do their God's will and the soul will be fine.

Those of the past had their time to participate and be alive
The present with their priority to protect, provide and prepare the future; as they arrive
Life is a shared responsibility so the minds of both genders may thrive.

Your mind, body and soul is yours just as theirs belong to each one of them
The older you get the more experience about life to prepare the children for their time of when
Live your life the best you can and not become entrapped in; 'what could have been'.
