The Box2

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 21, 2024 

The box.
Placed at
birth.
Configured
as such.
Body.
Mind.
Provided.
Environmental
download.
Filled.
Told.
What to
believe.
How to
behave.
Location
dependent.
Formed,
shaped.
Box created.
Views,
abilities
assigned.
Limited
in scope.
Thinking
beyond
challenging,
difficult.
Imagination
required.
Infinite
variables.
So much
to know.
How much
to know?
What can
be known?
Stuck in
a box.
