Unfortunately we were taught
To learn by rote, independent thought
Was discouraged back then
Therefore perceptive, curious children
Never had a chance to question the status quo
It was important to conform and go with the flow
*
These days we encourage innovation
We try to provide children motivation
To think outside the box, color outside the lines
Meaning they can explore a bit outside the confines
Of standards previously decided, but not deviate
Significantly from the established state
*
Creativity and innovation, however, should be
Able to expand without constraints, infinitely
Maybe erase all boxes and lines now
Such that creative thinking we allow
To be limitless, expand in every direction
Let the extent of our thoughts be the reflection
Of the boundless universe that we live in
Let an era of unbiased, independent thinkers begin..
Passion...unbridled
