THE REPTILIAN BRAIN

A buried primitive Language,
The fear that drives survival.
Fight me or run away,
This Old brain is here to stay.

Hunger pangs and Primal Instincts,
A never-ending search for pleasure.
Questions nagging the human mind,
Are you safe, Are you Secure?

Emotion is a human addiction,
Chase the highs and suffer the lows.
Fear of failure and love of power,
The lizard brain is fuel to the fire.
