Poem Title:
Poem
It’s okay to be ... me. Exercising the brain. Setting it free. Always seeking for more. Never give up, never surrender To be right all the time is a flaw Just striving to be the best I can be Is a smart way to live if you ask me Perhaps I'm just a mad scientist, I do believe So, hop on the brain train That’s forever learning what’s knowable That clickity clackity of clarity That comes from knowing what’s right That burning, yearning feeling To know something new Is a breakthrough Over the next horizon Onto the tracks Under the rainbow Where it’s okay to explore And be smart. It’s okay to be ... you. Exercise the mind. Set it free with poetry. Always seeking more. Never give up, never surrender To be mediocre or less even, a bore So, hop on the brain train with me And be blessed, don't be like the rest Be my intelligent observing passenger at best Along this lifelong journey, be blessed again Across the tracks Over the next horizon Under the rainbow Where it’s okay to Be smart. It’s okay to be smart. I peel bananas Before I eat them It’s okay to be smart I wash red potatoes Before I cook them It’s okay to be smart I say my prayers Before I sleep It’s okay to be smart I wash my dishes After every meal It’s okay to be smart I love who I love Better than no love It’s okay to be smart Evil is stupid Hatred is dumb It’s okay to be smart Live for today For it might be the last It’s okay to be smart Then all-of-a-sudden After the one hundredth read Peace on Earth was declared! Everyone’s happy! Everyone everywhere’s smart It’s okay to be smart Be smart
