Fly Me To The Moon
The sun and stars know how
to shine.
The wind knows how to
blow.
The water knows how to
flow.
Humans, well what do they
know?
Seeds and grass will grow
Snow will fall just fine
Trees will grow just ask
the Pine.
Humans, we don't like to
stand in a straight line?
Humans use logic and
reason, right?
But when?
Our language is a funny
fit.
Pro and con are opposite,
right?
Then progress and congress
are opposite..
OK, today that may be true
but
educated folk can not
agree any day
on words and what they
intend to say.
death can happen, people
dead
over
what we thought they said
Children are taught that
all elephants are gray
A blue horse, no don't
color that way
To keep the artists that
is born in you
will be hard for you to
do.
Logic may be cherished and
taught in school
but
creativity may mean
breaking the rules.
Imagination is the creative station
we do nor want to miss in our education.
Imagination is the creative station
we do nor want to miss in our education.
Science teaches how its
done.
English has rules and
exception fun
Math is only one way
right.
History rewrites it
self..with might.
We try to teach in four
walls
lines of kids in the
halls.
Drop the lines, remember
we do not do that well!
Humans ...do not learn
that way we find!.
When we want to know how
man lived in the past
we look at his art and
then we know!
Add creativity back into
each day
so
when today is tomorrows
long ago
something in our culture
and time capsules will show...
We did go …
.to the moon
both in rockets and our mind.
I love this, some excellent lines and moments. It is amazing how a chap on TV can tell us something that we immediately believe. The poem flows really well and its magic is that you are not sure where it is going to end up. Logical but not logical, well done
ReplyDeletei think adding creativity back into each day would be a wonderful thing....would not mind a trip to the moon as well...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this, Rae. You showed some of the 'illogic' in things that should be 'logical.'' You are right: history is often revised, English pronunciation often doesn't follow rules; and so true that many times creativity DOES (thankfully) break the rules!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful read, j really enjoyed this
ReplyDeleteSo much good stuff here. I especially like:
