Indoctrination

The reality of growing old
A sad story, many times told
Of a mind…
Becoming a ghostly remnant
A lost Rembrandt…
Living in far away land
Unresponsive to any command

But what of… youthful “indoctrination”
In all things the mind cannot know
The cancellation of a reservation
From a place…
God meant the mind to go
Consigned… to a lost place of lost grace
Where unprovable beliefs and mis-information grow

That “indoctrination” fills the brain of youth
Stunting its growth before it’s time
Leaving the mind impervious to “truth”…
Like twins separated at birth
One, a closed mind with a blank page
The other, an open mind…
A shooting star on a human stage
