Let no boundary or rule contain you,
For you are not to be contained,
Unleashed as a flurry of thought and proposal
With an intelligence not simply unique
But incomparable,
Understanding is unnecessary
And should be sent back from whence it came,
Comprehension is not your success
In a world based upon legitimacy,
As you may find
Better things to do with time
Than reliance on what you are taught,
I ask for that flicker of thought,
That one moment passed,
In itself a moment
Forgotten but indelible
An imprint of true enlightenment,
That moment made a genius of you,
Fact and verity cannot apply to
Something so original
So
So inexplicable
So essential
We mustn’t let geometry surpass creativity
You are bigger than you know,
To grasp such depth is evidence
To a weary race
That we are close

We are close
To a definition meant for our insatiable intellect
Where assumptions of our biology
Will never justly delineate
The fabric from the string,
In the place where words fail us
And we can only see texture,
As a spectrum never seen before
Dances around the unfettered core,
I know that you have ventured here
Where thought and purpose will cohere,
Probably somewhere just between
When you sleep and when you dream,
And my entire confidence in the human race
Is based solely and intently upon this place [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 73 [informant] => Benny14 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

My Confidence

I absolutely love it, it is incredible. I especially like the last part-
"I know that you have ventured here
Where thought and purpose will cohere,
Probably somewhere just between
When you sleep and when you dream,
And my entire confidence in the human race
Is based solely and intently upon this place"

This whole poem is very insightful and to be honest I had to reread a few parts on this particularly slow day. Amazing
