The brain is the body’s power source for the mind While used on a regular basis daily for either good or evil It is never challenged when children are born to the World, at that point it is looked upon God’s gift to The parents. As time advances we discover the child’s Full potential as the mind tends to decide whether the Child has developed all that can be learnt by education From schooling and the arts, sometimes the child becomes A genius or may take a darker path of criminal activity. This is were the mind enters this scenario. The child must Realise by using the treasures of his mind the world will be A better place for all. Choosing a career in medicine may be One option healing the sick, another might become a teacher Educating the next generation of children, all of this the mind Will assist with inspiration and intelligence. Then we have to view life as another child would envision. The world could represent a different and eerie view of horror Turning his back on society, may become a dictator as we have Witnessed in our past centuries, using the mind to seek war For personal profits, hurting families and friends, who knows What damage will prevail. The outcome rests with our future Families whether they choose a peaceful existence or war Which no one will profit from. The treasure of the mind is there To be used for the benefit of mankind, it must never be used For man’s downfall.

About this poem:
This scenario shows two sides of a child’s vision of the future world of tomorrow.
In this world, Man's intelligence can do good or evil. We hope that righteousness prevails over evil. Good point to discuss in today's culture, my dear poet. SM

Thank you for your kind comment, I use to be a regular here but stopped writing as I wanted to pursue my other interests, I originally wrote short stories until a poetry competition turned me to poems. Thought you would like the history. I find after doing 100+ poems the mind becomes strained. Feel free to check my previous poems when you like. All the best.
