Open Minded Poem by Hawkins Rodgers

They say never be shallow, instead have an open mind
And ya'know that's funny, ‘cause I find, a mind left open often rots away
That's not to say, a closed mind is essential
For I know that would simply suffocate your potential

How about a clear mind, a sunny forecast
Keeping your mind unclouded by the delusions of the past
I mean dig your roots deep, be firm
But never reach the point where you can no longer learn
