Growing My Brain
Whispers seed thoughts that blossom in action
In the garden of the skull baring fruit
To all the well fertilized abstractions
Long held convictions have the deepest roots
Stroll through the leaves where our knowledge is bound
Each branch leads to a path where much is found
Some ancient long plowed some just breaking ground
Some are mundane while others will astound
Who planted the orchid where physics grows
Mathematics are vegetables for your brain
Helps things gets digested so learning flows
Philosophy needs sunlight cleaned with rain
So many subjects that I need to sprout
That I’ll have to shout as they come out
