Systems Of The Mind Poem by Joseph Narusiewicz

Are we not related fragments?
Counties and overlapping cities
Country roads and traffic jams
Love and hate
Disdain and boredom
Romance and selfishness
These neuropath ways of life
Frontal lobes like an executive
The bossy parts of the brain
Romantic and chemical substance
Balance and so out of balance
Emotion and cognition
Conscious and subconscious

Psyche and symbol
Complex libraries
of the real
of the illusive
Some want poetry like mathematics
Dyslexia and the inverted element
Art that no computer can learn
Waves of the past
Currents subtle and sublime
The human being is quite a creation
Appreciation the realm of angels

Physiological and the psychological
Dreams and the disregarded
The objective and the subjective
Human sexuality, Wow!
Strangers in the mirror
Consciousness of narcissism
Empathy and compassion
Some days words of flowers
Words like hummingbirds
Others days it is rational
Words like bank accounts
Some days it is both
States of consciousness
Ambivalent states
The world around us
Sociological states
Politics
Post modernism
Incorporating values
What’s bothering you?
Depression, anxiety
Spiritual states
Joy
Hope
Faith

To know thyself
What a tall order
We listen to music
Isn’t it amazing?
