Nurtured By Thoughts

Do you want to be nurtured, taught with a human's thoughts?
Or do you want to live with a computer screen?
Most folks want to be grown, learn as the organic,
Like when developing the mind of the teen.

Teachers instruct and grow, giving helps and hints,
Giving insight into the how, why and where.
Our learned touch on the mind of the teen,
Gives curiosity, to live, love, to care.

A computer screen, it's flat, right or wrong,
It's lifeless, void of intrigue.
It can't explain the why of the curious,
It can't nurture, assist, driving to fatigue.

Computers can't change with the mind,
Can never understand mental burn.
Only the fluid hands of the human teacher,
Know how to feed kids curiosity to learn.
