The outside of the box is,
Everything that life should be,
All we should strive for,
The high point of humanity.
But we can never scale that mountain.
Its very nature leaves us with loose snow,
and loose rocks,
That break and crumble at the slightest touch,
and leave us at the start.
And have you ever tried to do anything like that!
Its mind numbing!
You put your whole in a million times!
and all you get is a million and one tries!
No wonder humantiy has seemed to have given up hope!
But its ironic.
The "box principle" is whats holding us back.
Its like the reason you climb,
is to get to the other side,
and you have too much pride,
to take a plane,
and FLY.
Because there is NO BOX.
Author notes
7. outside the box
The 2nd and third stanza are about how when you go outside the box, that "outside" becomes the new inside
