What Part Of The Brain

It is without question
The hand
Innervated by peripheral nerves
Originating from spinal nucleus
Within the spinal cord
Connected to the brain
To a certain motor neuron
In the motor cortex
When initiated 
Will move the hand

Like any other part of the body
That one can move
This way or that

Which begs the question
Where is the part of the brain
That commands a particular motor neuron
To fire the neuron
To initiate the movement

Or start talking
Or running
Or whatever

What part of the brain
Is commanding the brain?

For George Floyd

Covid pneumonia
Steadily marching on

No cure in sight
Vaccine years away

Social distancing
Adapting

Slowly opening up
From shelter in place

As protests go on
For George Floyd

And race goes on
For the White House

Unemployment
Employment

Death
Life

At the mercy of God

Square

Square
Not round
Not oval
But square

Demanding exact change
Driving at speed limit
Following rules to the dot
Pursuing perfection

Despite their face
Not being perfect
Their persona
Far from perfect

Unconsciously aware
Of so many self imperfections
The pursuit of perfection
Perhaps is to compensate

So that the degree of squareness
Is inversely proportional
To the degree of self confidence
Of how perfect they truly are

Regardless of how many
Imperfections they possess





Until Too Late

Opportunities seldom present itself
Not enshrouded from plain sight
Often hidden behind the obvious
What is apparent on the surface

Such that when disaster strikes
Or bad deed of any kind
To blame and punish
Is number one priority

While the opportunity
To improve and prevent
Such disaster or bad deed
Goes unnoticed

Until too late

And Wrath

All things come to an end
No matter how bad
No matter how angry
Time always wins

Taking away the lives
Of all who are evil
And also good
The final justice

But some are too eager
Too impatient
To let time take its course
And let God be the judge

Each day too long
To wait for the final judgement
But for those who wait
They will see God's mercy

To those who are good
And wrath
To whose who are evil
And unjust
