Imagination

A Poem by miahstr

The prompt was Imagination

"

Some say the trick to creation

is a good sense of imagination

What do you see when a whistle blows?

The path of the air as the passage narrows?

Can you see what makes an engine work..

The combustion? or how that creates torque?

Can you see the ebration

caused by a sense of frustration

When a poet tries to see the forest

and not the trees

Can you see the ocean

as the narrators describes it

the salty breeze

waves rushing in and rising

Could you write a novel

something new

about that ocean

or the morning dew

Its imagination

that's a creator's salvation

taking you places you've never been

inside a passage as the air blows

hearing that whistle as it narrows

Even places that don’t yet exist

but are on some sort of imagination list

Isn’t frustrating

isn’t it cruel

to spend your years working

or in school

to cultivate this skill and have it bare fruit

You spent years in a classroom

Years on the line

using up all of your time

only to be stuck in a creation free job

repeating the same thing

over and over again

if only you could create something

that would change the world

and expand horizons

for every boy and girl

Some would say that the trick to creation

is really a good sense of frustration

It's same as my thoughts...
Humans are just repeating cycles child study, job ,wife, children,old age,death..
Nothing new at all. Just there to fill the numbers.......
No contribution to this world and humanity....
