4 years

Under the mask of realism
New and wonderful things arise
In front, behind, all around.
View these from another perspective
Enter them into your conscious mind
Relate them to another
See if they react as you did.
In their mind it may be different
Then they relate it to another.
Young and old pass it through their mind.
One may understand and enjoy
Four others accept without comprehension.
Some still relate it to others
One of those will change the meaning.
Up, around, in and out
Through minds, pages, bytes
Having no control of the changes.
Common thoughts become abstract
A simple word gains many meanings
Right and wrong become confused.
Once an easy, simple word,
Life becomes something else.
Interaction increases and decreases
Nothing can stop the change.
A body could go crazy
All these things changing.
The knowledge that was once simple
About-facing in someone else's mind.
Intelligent thought lost and gained
Knowledge altered and added to.
Everything you know, new and old
Now can be called a college education.
