Plagiarize My Memories
this is not something about the status of the world
if it were that
then we should take a moment
to breathe and move about
like we were born
to do
if this was about taking in o2
and knowing it
whilst expelling co2
all the plants
would enjoy our breath
so maybe we should expound upon the happiness
of our lost youth
as these were the times that
wore no hat
and
had no true run-ins
with adult based truths
until we had to become
the adults we never wanted to be
too many said "you're wasting time"
so too many never said
"you're wasting your time talking to me"
as they wanted you to be the new
becoming of the automatons and
the plagiarizers of the centuries
without a fresh thought
that's where the fight begins
those without a crisp cerebral idea must leave those
with such a mental verbosity
very much alone
the detritus of the old mix
is not with the abstraction of the new
despite the need to feel important
the path is paved beyond the concept
of most
evolution is set
yet
we have always ran upon the backs of unheralded
genius
from the past
