In My Own Space:

Some times, it's difficult to relate,
Especially for the young with a different fate,
Because not too many folk quite understand,
When your mind is filled with different visions of future lands,
Dreamscapes of what might someday be,
And understandings beyond the ordinary,
Visions of shining stars drifting away to stern,
And of a vast universe of which we've much yet to learn,
And living in places far from green and blue Cradle Earth,
And spinning technologies up within your head,
If you speak of them,
Folks just laugh and say,
"Oh yeah, maybe we will someday".
Sometimes they spin fingers near their temples,
Thinking of belfry bats,
Though in truth it's blankness,
Living under their empty hats,
Given even an inkling,
Conversational examples,
I guess the mentality of being close,
Requires the ordinary,
Conformist nature in heavy dose,
But often my mind drifts away on an inventive cloud,
And I long for a friend,
Who can see it if I speak out loud,
But as with a few I know that live in a different world,
I'm better off keeping my mouth shut,
Than light upon the blind be hurled.
Dreaming in silence can be a blessing and a curse,
Because your voice that never speaks will someday......

Go silent.

A taste of what it's like to be able to dream of things most
people can't understand. Nichola Tesla knew in the end,
That if you could find a way to just plant an ideological seed,
The ground might someday grow fertile and let them blossom.
The thinking of a man who envisioned charged particle
beam weapons and beamed electrical power in the late 1800's,
and a fascinating look at someone who did speak. In depth.
