Idle Minds

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Idle minds. Melting in leather seats

in a apartment with broken conditioning.

The devil knocks and wants to come in. They

stare at each other, pretending not to listen.

Idle minds. The devil knocks again. One

gets up and the others indifferent.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

    It is true
    The idle mind is the devils workshop
    That’s the only place he can fit
    A vacant mind
    Thanks for the inspirational poem
