Human Mind Poem by AHO Speaks

The mind contains everything we humans will come to be
Even if blind our touch will draw a picture for us to see
To see the truth we must have our own unique key.

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

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

My childhood was a journey of people, places and things
An older brother as 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
Not much time to thank our God for yesterday, as it went too fast
Too often we act like a sail boat trying to move without a mast.

The human mind is humanities holy grail to do what we can
Our sense of becoming a being but too often we fail as a man
As a child I thought as a child but had no grandiose plan.

As a young man I used the past as my measuring cup for right or wrong
First I was the future to become the present; but to neither did I belong
It was in the music of my time I found my niche in words of certain songs..

Life, light and longevity are gifts given to everyone
But the mind provides our understanding; it is easier to walk than run
Every child's mind is unique and different; except for their feeling of fun.

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 do their God's will and their soul will be fine.

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

Your mind, body and soul is yours as theirs belong to each one of them
It is the experience of life to prepare the children for their time of when
Live your life the best you can and not; 'what might have been'.
