Proverbs 15:33 <br /> The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.


If every thought has already been
What can compare to the pre-geniuses
Who can our thoughts affect besides our kin
Now, repetitive inner geniuses
All things we know have been handed to us
Are we the brilliant ones or the thoughtless
We learn by transportation of the bus
Will what we become is scared and mindless
Stop it! Keep your heads up and eyes forward
What we desire is genius itself
How hard? We can work, Why? Cause' we want to
We can, don't wait and put us on a shelf
Why look back when we can live forward through
We can achieve, this is our battle cry
Throw a curveball, bring us down go and try

Few mintor things first: "Who can our thoughts affect", I believe should be "Whom can our thoughts affect" in order to be grammatically correct; (2) I didn't understand the apostrophe after "Cause' we want to". Any who, I enjoyed your repetetive use of rhetorical questions throughout the poem. Nicely done. Great 3 last lines.
