Despite his inability
To gain some credibility
The one eyed man became king of the blind
His throne was made of solid gold
All marveled at the stories told
He painted little pictures in the mind
He would speak of the sun
How fast cheetahs could run
How the fluffy dark clouds brought the rains
Twinkling stars in the night
An eagle in full flight
Soars majestically over the plains
As is usually the case
Laws were put into place
Paradise not enough on it's own
His intention and goal
Was to somehow control
Those still willing to stand all alone
A challenger both brash and loud
With vision standing tall and proud
Had seen the chains and offered up some keys
Confidently he's setting his sights on this man
Talent hits all the targets that no one else can
GENIUS hits those that no one else sees

I love this quote "Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see."--you can have talent and do well...and achieve things others may not be able to; but being genius/intelligent helps us reach for things within our imagination others can't even see. Had me thinking hard this morning! Thank you!

And the etymology of the word.. with a reference to an inborn, tutelary or guardian spirit.. 'that no one else sees' . Like a bird's eye view... So many ways this takes my mind! Thanks for sharing
