“Genius & Conspiracy (The Sonnet)
Wherever there is extraordinary genius,
There are extraordinary conspiracy theories.
Because the human mind cannot distinguish,
Supernatural mysticism from natural mysteries.
Wherever there is exceptional talent,
There is talk of divine intervention.
Because the mind cannot fathom excellence,
Without involving some good old mystification.
We may tolerate some conspiracies that are innocent,
But those that do harm are human rights violation.
If we can't use it when we need to use it the most,
What's the point in carrying around a lofty brain!
There are times when reason must take a back seat,
Then there're times, ignorance mustn't be given heed.”
