Wunderkind
Genius, prodigy, tensai, all of these fail
To truly mirror and reflect the light within
A flickering ember of insight, of wisdom, of knowledge
Perceiving things unseen by others
Truly shutting off from normalcy, from stagnation of theory
Going further, pressing forward to progress, to the future
Never staying far in the present, never straying too far in the future
The past beckons them to become like legends
Yet the present ostracizes, generalizes, mesmerizes, lies and lies
Humans and yet gods to some, they fall short of divinity, of deity’s title
For to be a god is to create, and yet to create is but passing in mortality
Any creation of mere humans falls, crumbles, destroys itself
Creations of deities too will fall, though through much more time passing
What is the contrast, between gods of earth and gods of heaven, but the form of the matter?
The spirit is different as well, a deity’s soul within his acolyte, the demigod’s within their work, their goals.
The difference is the width of philosophy, of schools of thought and religion, governments of morality
Yet further and further from each other, the two become…the width of time eternal.
