Power at your fingertips
Greater than magecraft or spell
With it comes obligation
That is, use it well!
***
Your eyes are fixed completely
On a number scrawled in ink
Thoughtlessly you squander
Your gift, the power to think!
***
You are a lamp of intellect
In a world ignorantly dark
But how can you shine in places
You never go? So hark!
***
leave dusty books and essays
and papers due for class
tell others what is in your mind
before the chances pass!
***
Don't bury your lovely candle
To burn out, still unseen
Leave wax drippings on the table
And spills of kerosene!
***
Your friends and family love you
And love to see your light
Even though they won't admit it-
Some would put up a fight!
***
Don't deprive them of your presence
Going dim under the ground
To find the day isn't easy
But what more you have found!
