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.
