All there ever will be to know and understand
commanded by the dynamics of endless imagination
standing on the shoulders of giants
constantly thinking outside of the box
ingenious scientists associate with prestigious labs
from Atlantic to Pacific Ocean, MIT to Stanford
or military DC, to find the cure against cancer
the remedy against climate change
or perfect the art of mass destruction
nonchalantly, they innovate around
making their parents extremely proud.
Some, brilliant but perhaps not so insightful
land at less admired institutions
descending from magnificent to psychotic
feeling forced to act like Batman, Cat-woman or Napoleon
display, showcase short yet power-hungry generals
beyond their wildest dreams by once creative ways
bear in mind that Napoleon was crazy on Josephine
but not insane.
As long as they aren't harming anyone, they do as they wish
so they think hard outside of the box
inside the closed, obscure, sunless boxes
of loony bins, funny farms, psychiatric wards
and other abnormal institutes
specially designed for
visionary out-of-the-box thinkers
socially deranged.
