Ode to 5

Where others only see things as they are

I see them as they can be

Yeah maybe right now they’re not quite there yet

But the future – isn’t that precisely where we’re heading?

So I’ll excavate turn things over and refine ’em

For all brilliant inventions first arose in right the mind!

An unexamined life is not worth living

Thus said Socrates who went around questioning everybody

What’s behind this belief what’s behind that pattern

Only when you’re aware of that can you fix everything

Slowly but surely I sieve through it all

Purer finer more crystalline like a diamond I become

Life is a series of expansions

I’m never satisfied with the status quo

I’m always looking for that new thing that has eluded my mind

And into my life I try to incorporate it

I can’t imagine a life without growth

No I suppose that’d be fantastically boring

I delve into varying systems

As a devourer of knowledge

Where others are content with the surface

I gotta understand underlying mechanics

Because hey as I see it

Where’s the point otherwise?

I never ever accept ideas right off the bat

Just because ya say it doesn’t mean it’s right

No I’ll always put it through my own processes

And then if it makes sense I suppose it’s right

But say if I feel that nope it doesn’t work

However much you’re qualified sorry it’s a no-no

Yeah I suppose I’m kinda stuck in my head

I’m chock full of thoughts compared to the average Joe

And perhaps that makes life so much more complex

But even then I assure you it’s not that everything’s concepts

I still can have fun and enjoy my life

The only difference is that I’m much more intentional

Oh… I dare you to walk a day in my mind!
