What is it in the human mind <br />which explains myth and fact <br />in the language of the theology <br />of Beginning and End, <br />in terms of the philosophy <br />of Cause and Effect, <br />defining limits in time and space, <br />fixing the bounds of a confined place, <br />where free minds are content to dwell <br />within the walls of an intellectual jail. <br /> <br />What is it in the human mind <br />which challenges the limits imposed, <br />and dares to seek the land beyond, <br />where there’s no beginning or end, <br />where Logic is damned <br />and Reason is confounded. <br /> <br />What is it in the human mind <br />which denies what it finds <br />and doubts what it sees <br />in the newfound land; <br />it considers it a mirage, <br />an intellectual outrage, <br />so it remains in its cage, <br />donning the garb of a sage, <br />teaching the wisdom of the age <br />to minds happy to be in a cage. <br /> <br />Must it always be so?<br /><br />Isam Hussain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/must-it-always-be-so/
