A certain generation

Silence is the only thing we humans really need

Some peace and quiet will do you damn fine

It is only then, the mind is allowed to think for itself

In order to create new things that have never been created

The juvenile mind has such vast potential

But they squander it with "sources" of entertainment

If only they could see the potential

Harness it for what its worth, and fulfill its purpose

They'd know where inspiration truly came from

They'd feel and wield the power of their own minds

Beyond the potential they thought they possessed

To access what they had within them all along

If only they'd sit in silence for a period of time

Life would take on new meaning

and Inspiration would rain into their laps

  1. I've thought about this a lot. Think about how much more intelligent and accomplished we would be in what ever we pursued, if only we had lived before tv and computers and cell phones. We'd have to write letters to communicate with friends, read books for entertainment, and learn a musical instrument if we wanted to hear music. Excellent point, and eloquently expressed.
