Of Two Minds Poem by James McLain

Articulating predisposed my hands give in
but never obeyed
what this some one this other person
trapped in my head from birth to me use to say.

The new depression
expressions that twist all the faces
whom inside knew
but were to afraid to speak.

Discipline has uncovered the truth
as to why so many hide
never to know until it's to late
the price some have paid just to live
and why with no help
some of our greatest minds choose to die.

Children with out rights that never knew
having the wrong parent's
that could explain how to grow up in this world
and not be afraid
this good young mind most would fear
being to slow to make this leap
from one mind to the next
inside the same head.

Of more than one mind
yet less than two
whom being one and with the other
the sum of each part
working together becoming one
taught by another
would play.
