I met a genius today
under 2 years old & has a mind sponge?
photographic memory? audiographic?
He could be a genius for good or evil-
potential untapped, unfocused, untrained.
Years ahead of him & any
possible future, any
direction into the wind . . .
give him the right wings &
he could be . . .
I met a genius today
looking back at me in the mirror
what has he done for the world?
what is his potential
has it been wasted on youth
& stupidity – was he given
the right wings?
Will he fly to the height that
others have aspired . . . what potential still
lies within his soul?
