To the Outsider


What is Intelligence?

In world that is filled with standardized tests,

to measure who is really the best.

It leaves the ones with hidden gifts 

To dissapear like a frog in the hidden mist.

What if I told you Intelligence isn't what you thought of it to be.

When it really was what your cultured admired,

and slowly was taught to be desired.

Academics is to Intelligence 

as to 

Earth is to the Universe

It is impossible to define something abstract absolutley concrete,

because our efforts to find out the truths would become obsolete.

So remember to the one reading my thoughts,

don't doubt your ability,

to someone else

It will be their remedy
