What Is Interesting
What is interesting to me is how we all have our own conception on…
- what is “interesting”.
Each brain contains at least one hundred billion cells, you see,
each cell designed different yet we may share the same view-
The science of sound may seem very intriguing to someone like me,
but it may just be as boring as a newspaper to someone like you.
Captivation of worldly events can consume a human’s mind,
cause fear and apprehension and affect their daily routine-
I can sit here and engage on why I get absorbed in my rhymes,
while you stand there enthralled on what’s on the television screen.
I may be interested in how the heck they build a train track,
how long it would take and how much of my tax money it will cost-
You may find it gripping finding a tiny needle in a haystack,
while I could care less about metal objects, it will just end up lost.
What’s fascinating to me is how the primary colors were created,
red, blue and yellow just happened to strangely appear?
Or how a sawfish can give birth to guppies and haven’t even mated,
I find it alluring that the secrets about nature are so unclear.
I wonder what it would be like to be able to live on the moon?
How long would it take to get there and what would I eat-
Or who in the world decided to invent the fork, knife and spoon?
I'm so curious why so many people these days are allergic to wheat.
I find it enticing how all humans have unique opinions and notions,
who finds this interesting and that over there may be a plain bore-
We all have different DNA but we all share similar emotions,
what's interesting is how we all strive on a daily basis to learn more.
-the more we learn, the more interesting life becomes...
