“The cruelest prison of all is the prison of the mind.” Piri Thomas
Needs To Be Opened If you believe a thing, does it become a thing and colonise your mind, cages, cells, atrophy, a place without bars, incarcerated thoughts, self-held with an unconscious iron will, or is it fear that shuts the thinking, feeling door that needs to be opened so wide, nothing can be contained, simply entertained and loosely held.

Loved the opening two lines!!! Reminds me of the Costanza Defense from the Sienfeld show – “Jerry, just remember – it’s not a lie if you believe it”
America is addicted to this fantasy!

In comes a need for enlightenment: the crumbling away of untruth. But one needs to recognize it as such.
May we get there before it’s too late.
Lovely poem. Thanks.
