When
one door closes
another door closes
until all doors are shut
and we are safe within ourselves
safe from new ideas
safe from open discussion
behind walls we grow
fat and comfortable
we think we are always right
better than others
we shut ourselves off
we develop pride and prejudices
and fall into a dark hole of hate
it's best to leave at least one door open
so fresh air can come in-
and new ideas can circulate
it's good for your health
a shut door blocks intellectual curiosity
rumors and gossip grow in darkness
sunlight is the best disinfectant
the best stimulus for thought
keep an open door-
an open mind.
