Once there was genius.
There were many;
There were genii,
And we will never know how many, for
There came a war.
In fact, there came a-many.
And there came dictator:
Many.
Killings, fleeings, shittings, peeings: chaos.
Geniuses that walked the streets
(or stayed at home creating) Joy!
And then, the girls, boys
With life to change the arts, the sciences
Were gone before begun;
Departed.
Never started.
Never to know what they missed,
We, not to be ever kissed by them
When genius walked the streets
Before
The wars.
