Your mind obviously was defined
from an older place and time
As far as the crow flies
your destiny may lie
Trapped in your shell
no freedom shall ever dwell

Only an open mind can grow

Darn good thought. Like Patton and Rommel....always advance- never retreat, never entrench. Always advance.

Good point, Sir James

// Thanks, I appreciate that!!!

Wait, what? I thought I did have an open mind. Hmmm.

My mind was definitely defined from an older time. Like 132 years ago.

Thanks man for setting off a reaction in me. I love it.
