Geniuses
excel in math and science
While people excelling
in English,
writing,
art,
reading,
are simply
just “good” at said subjects
It is clearly ridiculous to think
it is any sort of challenge
to understand the arts
Even more ridiculous to think
a genius could be an envisaged thinker;
contemplating every aspect of every situation
before blurting out an answer
No
If you take time to think
then a label is slapped onto your forehead
slow
unintelligent
dense
If you can give them an answer quickly
and it just so happens to be right
You’re gifted
a genius
the next Einstein
What a curse it is
to live in this society
This society
in which the poet
is dimwitted
and the artist
is moronic
Please tell me
I’m not the only one
who thinks this way.
