Intelligence
Is intelligence only learned in the classroom? When did be regurgitating lab hamsters having to memorize these so called facts Make us smart Why is it that they make the teachers Teach only one way When in essence Human beings learn in many ways Not just this mundane way of Someone in front of you Lecturing you Force feeding Information that you can't question Because they say it has no flaws But this education system is so flawed Because it's designed to make us Only so smart to work But not smart enough to Question by being a critical thinker Being scared of making mistakes And being wrong Yet how will we ever learn How will we expand our minds If we don't question If we don't research If we don't learn through our life experience Intelligence is earned beyond the classroom We can be book smart Street smart Lab smart Smart in any way because We all have minds Samoa The pearl of the pacific Small in land mass But huge in strength Love Culture Influence With the blood of the warriors Flowing Deeply Through The Veins And the vast waters Surrounding it Hospitality With Smiles And Comfort The Spirit Of Our Ancestors Who Fought For Independence To Be Our Own Nation Tiny on the map But powerful Because Of Our Faith In the Heavenly Father We are more Than just big People Who Entertain Or play Sports We are Proud Humble Family Oriented Laid Back Passionate Handsome Elegant We Are People Who Navigated The Pacific Oceans with ease But never accounted for In the History Books Yet We Are Here And We Will Be Here Because We Are SAMOA The Love of My Life The Love of My Life You're the pearl of my heart The apple tree that grows from the sand The rose that rises from the mud Your essence is extraordinary Like snowfall in the desert Your touch is as calm as the ocean but as cool as the gentle breeze You can also be as fierce as wildfire but beautiful as a butterfly You are more than just pleasing to my eyes You enter my soul as your heal my heart like natural herbs I love you more than words As you hold my hand, I will hold yours As we look into each other's eyes Our soul's will be filled with the passion and love for each other Close knit, united and embraced We together as one from God Making you my future wife The Love of My Life |
