Wheels of the mind.

The wheels of the mind move around and around
Like a ship on an ocean heading southward bound
The destination is set but the route unsure
As our minds first thoughts must be so pure.

We instill in our minds throughout our lives
The routes to travel like bees to their hives
But what we dont know is we set and distort
From a child to an adult we try to learn to sort

The lies and untruths that are said in our age
Are put their to try and protect like a cage
Parents truly beleive that they are doing their best
But it is later in life that we are put to the test.

For as we grow older and we duly find
No need for such rubbish thats stuffed in our mind
If we could only remember to sort out what we really need
Only then can we become a most peaceful breed.

Very idealistic to say the least Turbo. First welcome to the corner

My first time to read you and what an opening idea indeed.

We get caught up in the maze of so many crossroads and before we know it we are following our own illusions...

But a very nice read..

Thanks
