Explaining

All we can build is built on love And everything we deconstruct Is merely an attempt to prove That every flower is better plucked BY US — professors, Ph.D.s, And all who think intelligence Cannot be shown by those who please Only by holy negligence, As, growing on a bank, or finding A word by accident, and being Indifferent to computer-minding, Preferring hearing, smelling, seeing The evidences of creation To human ingenuity, Convinced that any explanation Is somehow less than what we see.
