Outside the Box

By Daniel Hoeweler

The boundaries, rules and laws That govern our physical, mental and Material existence Are but a box Our thoughts and beliefs Are contained within the box In an unconscious manner That limits us Outside the box there exists Unlimited possibilities Unorthodox mannerisms And impossible ideas It is here where insanity and genius Both reside Sometimes one overtaking the other Or both coexisting together Each of us has such a box That can be destroyed And unleash our unfettered ideas Onto the world These unhindered ideas Can both create and destroy And lead us onto the path of insanity Or brilliant insight This is why the madman on the street Is sometimes closer to Copernicus or Aristotle Than you might be led to believe
