Dalliances of the mind and soul
If only we could follow them, see where they go
Society discourages them, squashes them
Trains us to bury them and
Run away from them like diseased bodies
After all, what use could they be, these flights of fancy?
Creativity leads only to no good
To less productivity and more beauty
Independent thinkers and forward progress
Oh! Don’t you see what a world that would be?
No, no more distractions for me
