If it's really gray matter, <br />Then why are we told it's pink? <br />Aside from that... <br />How is it possible that our spongy gray organ, <br />Can compose thoughts into symphonies of colour and light, <br />Sketch plans for war or complex industry, <br />Impose radical ideals and beliefs on society, <br />Paint masterpieces within the dreams of every artist, <br />Establish unity with a common language, <br />Retain vast quantities of trivial and useful information, <br />Weave beautiful, articulate stories depicted from darkness, <br />Solve quandaries of mathematical inquiry, <br />Explore new spaces of the world and its depth, <br />Create systems of functional governmental statues, <br />Thrive with curiosity and creativity, <br />Spawn movements of the body for actions, <br />Develop relations with others abroad, <br />Shift into fantastic dreams of wonder or horror, <br />Grasp concepts that are so unique, <br />Learn from the past and change the future, <br />Activate a connection from feeling to the physical form, <br />... <br />Comprehend what you feel, to understand that I should write this, <br />Yeah, talk about a sponge, <br />It's gray matter, use it...<br /><br />Peter Vector<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gray-matter/
