Poetry

What we see with our mind
is the image we know
No two minds are the same
giving each one their own show

To help with this problem
dictionaries were invented
With multiple meanings
no good thoughts prevented

Failing to use this volume
we believe only what we've heard
Putting a serious restriction
on the meaning of a word

The use of language is better
when it helps us to agree
Giving each and every user
more possibilities to see

A thesaurus goes further
giving many different slants
Helping countless other writers
avoid unnecessary rants

We owe a debt to the scribes
who wrote so long ago
We wouldn't have the Bible
telling us what was so

Though some religious tomes
seem to disagree
They helped to save civilization
letting us enjoy being free

I like this. I depend on the dictionary for my writing. I can't spell to save my life and i sometimes get the meaning of words mixed up. I would like to know how it went from that to being about the bible. I mean i like it cause not many people like to write about there religion cause it's not pc so if you could explain to me how it all ties together that would be lovely.
