No battering ram can penetrate <br />Walls that have no logic <br />Make no sense to common <br />Knowledge. <br /> <br />Why waste the energy <br />In siege against a fortress <br />Hot oil and arrows <br />When the war is not worth winning? <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in The Poet's Porch, Oct.2000, winner of The Poet's Porch Award for excellence)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-closed-mind/
