Bridges

Mental Journey
We learn, we grow,
We become arrogant,
We lower those guards
Meant to protect us
We believe our observations
Will spot the dangers
All the while
Making excuses for backs turned,
And for eyes closed,
Because of the good job we've done.
But
Our bridges will fall
Maybe not tomorrow
Maybe not next week
But they will fall
Not because of terrorism,
Or because of malice,
But because of our ignorant
Choices, made in arrogance,
And when they do
Know
You have been warned.

Mental Journey

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
