Shape the World

How can about three pounds of grey matter alter history?

By Skyler SaundersPublished 7 years ago 1 min read
When the Brain Lights Up

Who’s the one who says that minds are depraved?

Sure, there are those who commit wrongdoing.

But that is off from what the brain has craved.

Good is what most folks begin pursuing.

Through many defeats and unchecked errors

Such people cry that their mind has failed them.

Their thoughts might haunt them as night time terrors.

This is after their lights have all gone dim.

The mind is the source of all goods that shape

The world. From the perspective of the greats,

The thinkers, artists, and builders that scrape

Together thoughts and produce brand new states.

Ideas result form the lightning quick

Functions of the brain that make it all click.
