The Modern Fate of Creativity

 

    In my efforts to organize, I found a poem that I wrote when I was 12 years old. People ask me all the time when I became interested in writing. From the moment that I learned written communication, I have had a desire to write my thoughts into the world. I was a brooding, serious child. Now that I am a brooding serious adult.

Humans have always been the utmost in creativity

With canvas and paint, we discovered the arts

Athletics with our strength and endurance

Using words and rhythm we gave the world song

We studied and experimented for science

and made places for the sick

We found order to create governments

But, what do we create

with missiles, egos, and enemies?
