Intelligence Incarcerated
Strong brains
Driven insane
Tired of mundane
Instruction tuned
In to the ways
Of the world's sin
Many gifted from
Birth many treated
As if they have no
Worth. Satan on
Their life path because
They have so many
That their lives affect
So they are locked up
And inprisoned
Like the world rejects
Some are not in jail
Some are not in the projects
Some are not in bad homes
Many don't realize they
Are gifted because Satan
Has never left or won't
Ever leave them alone.
So those strong brains
Mostly remain incarcerated
Maybe this is the reason
For a failing economy
Because intelligence is
In some type of jail
And the ignorance
Raise Hell.
