Gateway

A gateway doesn’t have a choice
because it is always open

The gateway is not in control
since it doesn’t have locked gates

My gateways are my five senses
and they didn’t come with locks

Their job is to transmit information
that is imposed upon or by me

Although they’re senses
they lack common sense

They’re mere messengers
between my within and without

They can’t interpret right from wrong
as they courier the intelligence

The brain interprets the mail
and decides what is true

No one can control the senses
as they have an open mind

Its only the brain that can
since it has a closed mind

Don’t shoot the messengers
as they are just gateways.
