Genius

Location

Although I may not have a score as high as you for my IQ

Don't think that I'm any less than you

Because I don't have to know advanced mathematics and quantum mechanics

In order to be labeled a genius

First let's go back to the facts and define two words that are the basis of this rhyme

First word is intelligence defined as the ability to learn, reason, and understand

The next word is genius defined as exceptionally great natural ability

Do you see anywhere in these definitions where they are placed under one category: the classroom

And I believe that knowledge is power but I am a doubter of the concept of no child left behind

Because if this was so true everyone would get a chance to enhance their skills and achieve their vision

But the money that should be spent on public schools goes to the prisons.

And society has given intelligence and genius the idea that it's only reserved for people that have a 4.0 GPA

Who can logically analyze

Who can write essays and go beyond their abilities

But what about those outside of school facilities

While in the classroom I am brilliant at what I do

But my genius is invested in something else

I have a mission to spread positive feelings through my musical intuition

But because I'm not the best at math

My fellow students choose to belittle me in class

To them I'm not a genius

I've been defined as stupid and a waste of time

But your logic is foolish to God

So any hurtful thing you say to me is perfectly fine

Because the truth is of the the matter is

Each and every last one of us are dumb as rocks

And our "genius" and "intelligence" coems from the almighty God
