The Thinking Man

Our world, the product of our thoughts
A world where men impart life into ideas
Perpetually creating a scenery of our plots
In which greatness is only beheld by those without fears 

Our life, the entirety of our choices 
A platform on which we diminish the impossible 
And as time causes ideas to manifest, the thinker rejoices
Knowing he created sublimity for the accessible

The stage is set, the crowd demands to be awed
Devoted to our cause, we embrace immaculacy
Although human nature is prone to be flawed
For men like us, our work, our life, our legacy.
