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
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.
