Power of The Mind
The heat and sand
The sweat and tan
The filth and awful stench
No privacy
With lines to eat
No room to sleep and stretch
As days ticked by
I, horrified
By thought of times like these...
Now chuckle at the thought of it
Because is such a breeze.
But now and then
(Still here you see... I mean at NTC)
I find I can
If time to plan
The difference lies with me
In truth no different
Bad or good
All things are in the mind
And so ive come to love the things
Once hated and despised
The power of the mind:
You have painted quite a horrid picture of your environment - I do not think I would like to visit - hope your locality imroves shortly - however, would like to say that your ability to paint a picture of your surroundings is very vivid within this poem. I also think it is good that your mind and mental agility can counjore up such disasters and your mind find a positive angle to grasp to and through your poetry. 48 daniel.

Feelings of a Man in a Mechanised Machine
Toiling for 8 hours... dust, low lights, stench of burning paint and tar. Men even light up cigarettes to escape from the perpetual physical & mental cage. Very hard life I must say.But be sure that everything will turn out to be nice after work and returning to a small secluded cubbyhole.I feel the poet's thoughts... Your post reminded me of "The Time Machine" by H G Wells... This post is much appreciated by me. Writing a few lines help getting a mind aired.. Happy Easters Daniel Sir
