Where Has the Intelligence Gone?

November 4, 2017

where has the intelligence gone?

has blown in the wind to another land?

or like a serpent slithering in the sand?

Can it be in a cave?

hiding from a world

full of rage

can it be grown?

and bear the seed of a

forbidden fruit

for the intelligence of every man

has walked out of his head

in comes thoughts of violence and greed

feeling that this will let him succeed

The intelligence will become a myth

for it fears anger and hate

and violence will become the new society
