Hurt comes
not from others
but from within
Place fact, logic
reason
upon their rightful
throne
Banish all else -
for there lies madness
Imagination
most lethal weapon of all
wrap it in silk
handle with care
lock in the deepest vault
throw away the key
A winner here, Joan. A wise, succinct and well-expressed idea. Have you ever considered putting ideas like this into 'form' poetry, like tanka or cinquain?

Without imagination how would we create such meaningful poetry?
Reality can be harsh but the imagination softens the brutality and no bad thing sometimes.

This is a sad one Joan. Unfortunately we dont always function on " fact logic reason" and imagination leads us down paths that are not always there.
