The issue I have is that the term of genius and what western society praises and truly honors in the last five years if not five decades has been a disappointment as I look back. We praise criminals who only lookout for themselves. We in the U.S. of America have sat by placidly as our government did things that are sure to be called atrocities by future historians. The ones who aren't trying to whitewash anyway. I can't help but find this humorous as we also point fingers and worry about the world our children grow up in. It's been said many times but, the first step to fixing the world is looking at the faults in yourself. Maybe we all should make sure we are not praising the wrong things as we step up to the alter of life.

Genius
I read an article yesterday about a young petty criminal that has managed to keep out of the reach of police for about 2 years. The article mentioned several times how smart he was and how he was like a genius. I don't know if he truly is a genius (though the article's evidence of such was a bit sketchy), It takes time to truly realize genius intellect.

Song
I was working on a poem yesterday and it has become a song in my head. This raises a question on what is the difference between the two. Poems have had musical accompaniment in many parts of the world: Africa, Joseon-Korea, Shakespeare's plays, etc. My argument is that other than the physical sound compared to the mental tune there is no difference. If I play music or write poetry and have someone else read it, I am doing the exact same thing.
This matters because songs have been seen as crass or part of the underclasses' entertainment while the upper-class enjoyed more "intellectual" activities like poetry. If what stimulates the different groups is really the same it also shows that the social classes are not so different. If groups are the same it turns the idea of one class versus another on it's head. Perhaps I am getting carried away though. Tell me your thoughts.

Article to Share
I read this article that I believe makes a lot of good points that the American government and people should consider. Not just to correct our previous actions but also for further introspection before taking our next steps forward.
