Healthy Minds

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted
to a profoundly sick society."
A lesson that was taught to me
by those searching for the serenity of sobriety

as the masses think the path is too demanding
Unity in diversity
is a journey to the God of our own understanding

Politics ideologies, and philosophies
evolve while time slowly passes
Literature is a powerful influence on cultures,
reaching the masses

A poet hangs in the delicate balance
of the reality of man
Rebelling against a sick society
Love changes us when it can
