The Rule of Thoughts: Ideocracy

I have found something Greater, stronger than democracy Making every person An equal player in the game of life I have found that, that Wields control where incursion has never made Beaming white light in the region of blackest darkness Widening the horizons beyond its marked borders Rising to peak only years before unattainable I have found that, which Conquers fortresses of pervading poverty Breaking barriers with ease of an effortless breath I found what and who rules our world The unseen but felt heat that stirs the pot to steaming hot The gentle and quiet brooks of immeasurable depth The strandless strings behind all thrones and seats of power I have found that, that Turns the obscured and scorned to cult heroes and heroines Turning millions jailbreaks from prison of ignorance Setting them free from captivity of oppression I have found what rules the world What demystifies ancient crowns And humbles the haughty might of men and women of modern powers I have found it ,that That comes in a small pack Wrapped in fragile protective cover of thoughts In the deepest corner of focused imagination Delivered by intensity of a burning desire Sustained to maturity by grid lock of firm actions I have found the magic wand of greatness That which makes you and i the beautiful bride of the world I found among the Wilbur- airplane- brothers I found it in Albert –inventions- Einstein's workroom and rimmed glasses In Emeka- modern computer- Emeagwali’s thick black hairs I saw it lingering on Bill - microsoft - Gate I found it behind YAHOO, GOOGLE corners I saw it in YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK pages I found it in Kanu Nwankwo, Jay jay Okocha’s laces and soles I found it in Micheal- thriller- Jackson I found it in Chinua- things fall apart-Achebe I saw it following Wole – kongi’s harvest- Soyinka I saw dying with Claude –automobile-Ake I see it hanging out on you I feel it in me, i see it in these lines... I have found IDEA.. the ruler of the universe
