Passion

Eyes glancing over terms For which I care not Mind trying to memorize Definitions of things So small you cannot see With the human eye If I could do anything else I would But no choice has been given to me I must learn What I have been told And nothing else Why can't we learn Things no one ever thinks of Why can't we figure out Why spontaneous generation Doesn't exist For ourselves Or write Whatever we want And explore what works And what doesn't Instead what we discover Has been laid out for us A skeleton of information Today's form of education Why must we do things we hate And waste our precious time on things we don't care about When we could focus on Something we are passionate for And could become successful at No child who is passionate about swimming Is going to revolutionize the world of construction No one who loves cooking Is going to change the finical industry People will go above and beyond What is asked of them If they love What they do So why don't we let them? The world would have amazing increases and discoveries In every field So many people wouldn't hate their jobs Or their co-workers If they were all enthusiastic about their career If we allowed people to focus On their passions But We don't So My eyes glance over the terms For which I care not Mind trying to memorize Definitions of things So small you cannot see With the human eye If I could do anything else I would
