T 4 ^ January 1969 THE PLANET Page Five '\y' TRY\ CAN YOU IMAGINE PlUT YOUR BRAHES TO WORK 'TRUTH'' Selected by Virginia Hatch By Virginia Hatch How wonderful the human brain: Tis where our senses work— ^ We should justify this great in heritance By putting it to work. And if the sun-^comes How sholl we greet him? Shall wf not dread him Shall we not fear him After so lengthy a Session with the shade? We should keep the brain busy - Else Our thinking power may stop — And one writer well said, “An idle, brain Is the devil’s worl Though we have wept for'lri^i^x Though we have prayed Give it plenty of exei For it is a sad fact We often allow othel for -usr^' > \ • And then we do the act. ^ . ^ \ All through the night- years What if we wake one shimmering morning to Hear the fierce hammering*^\ Of his firm knuckles Hard on the door? We cannot expect to advance When we attempt to shirk A Intelligence increases with /c®i - stant use v So put ycur brain to work. Shall we not shudder Shall we not flee Into the shelter, the dear thick shelter , Of the familiar ’ Propitious haze? For it will go to sleep — Like A Child one tries to lull A mind kept busy on principle and toil Wdl not ®ver grow dull V Think, mv friends, thoughts rule the world And life v/ill be enjoyed — For^ there is very little happiness— Your brain is not employed. TO SOMEONE DEAR IN THE FUTURE l?weet is it, sweet is it To sleep in the coolness Of snug unawareness , The dark hangs heavily Over the eyes., - . This poem written by Q.vendolyn Brooks, expresses the complexity of our attitude toward truth, which we long and pray for. This poem contrasts truth and ignor ance. Truth is compared to the sun; Ignorance is represented as the shade. To someone dear in the future. You will give the world your best. Because you’re really trying, To find your true success.
