To each his own
Is what they say
The bell will change its tone
Then men will rue the day
We cannot stop this disaster
Save we stop playing master
To understand our brethren
Only then will we win
But to each his own is a dream
Or maybe to be true
One can't understand their brother
The point is moot
For each mind is different
Even from the same mother
So brothers we must try
Though we might not have bothered
To each his own.

The author's comments:
One of my favorite things about the human body is the brain and how people think. But can you really ever know what the person next to you is thinking? Can you really ever know what there religious affiliation is? Are they sane? The mind is an amazing unknown. I have always wondered about these things so I wrote this piece to express my conclusion on the matter.
