The Genius

an axe sharpens another
a mind beautifies the sight of another
better still
a wise man learns
from the mistakes of another
not by his own
'coz then he would reel
under the weight of pain n anguish
befalling him as he searches
for a better way.

To be knowledgeable is not to know all
but a little bit more
than the average mind cares to know
genius isn't born
tis' made from following tested ways
only following them a little farther afield to where they lead.
sages aren't born
only they stretch reason a little bit more
hoisting their minds
on top of great mens' minds
