“Stagnation & Expansion (The Cognitive Sonnet)

There is not one but two imaginations,
One causes stagnation, another expansion.
It's okay to have a little bit of stagnation,
But stagnation as life causes degeneration.
A stagnant mind raises cognitive defenses,
To guard the stagnation against radical ideas.
An expansive mind brings down their defenses,
To expand perception by embracing new ideas.
Stagnant minds revolting against new ideas,
Are like impressionable kids throwing tantrum.
It's not their fault that they despise expansion,
Ascension takes a huge toll on minds in stagnation.
So when stagnant souls laugh at your expansion.
It is sign that you're moving in the right direction.”
