If Spread Or Contained

On how many levels
does true genius spawn
Is its gift comprehensive
or surgically drawn

Does it drive our emotions
like intellect swayed
Or stay pointed and focused
in only one way

Is it able to migrate
to conscience from mind
Can it cross a new border
or hill to be climbed

Will it outgrow the limits
indentured by class
Enhancing our psyches 
— all borders surpassed
