Reptile Brain

... who I am dealing with....

Reptile Brain

 

       I worship Satisfaction

 

       I crave warmth

 

   I detest pain

 

       I avoid suffering

 

no matter how much

 

       it costs me.

 

I lay against the smooth rock

 

       warmed by the sun

 

   and plot

 

       my next acquisition -

 

       of pleasure

 

   and strategize

 

       my next avoidance

 

          of pain.

 

for i am but what -

       a reptile brain !

Paul, what a brain!! or is it mind?? that comes up with ideas, any way whatever it is your's is a great one. this is a great thought embraces nature, i had never really thought about it that way, that reptiles also do plot.
