Magic Mind
Magic is in all of us
No wands, smoke or mirrors
are needed to fuss
Forget about rabbits
jumping from hats
Or floating while
sawing someone in half
Magic beans and magic tricks
Never helped me worth a lick
In fact they all should be a crime
When all they do is waste your time
This I tell you is all true
you can't get home
with the click of your shoe
But you can make it
with some sense
By using your
intelligence
Learning is magic
when you see something new
Just like the time
when you first tied your shoe
Things that were foggy
become crystal clear
No thanks to a genie
that never was there
It came from inside your magical place
Your brain which is hidden behind your face!

This is a wonderful poem! I wish I'd read it when I was younger. It should be required reading for the impressionable.
