It Is Mind, If You Mind Not

Ere, when life was a lowly yeast, There was a mind, nor yet a thought, It acted just as Nature taught. And then it was born as a beast, With some mind but no reasoned thought, And scarce could rise above its lot. But now, born a human being— Human for sure, humane the least, The brain is sure still evolving, And heart a mere valve under breast, Pumping blood with little feelings And oblivious of sufferings, God thought, man would grow beyond mind, But fettered, he's hardly declined. _____________________________________________ Musings | 03.11.10 |
