A Mind Lost

"Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance." W.E. Channing

A MIND LOST

Oh, what a gift we have

With a mind like a sponge

That has an infinite capacity

For the knowledge we indulge

Yet how many choose to waste it

Absorbing stories that have no facts

Learning wrong directions

And holding them intact

How many of us waste the space

Of the mind that should be used

Failing to absorb the truth around us

And hoarding lies accrued

Rejecting vital information

Meant to self improve

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

On what God would disapprove
