Brilliance
It matters not how clever or brilliant your brain,
Your genius will never receive its due acclaim
Until you shew – by functions
That transform thoughts to facts –
Some tangible constructions
Your brilliance enacts.
Real cleverness is measured not just by novel thought
But how, through bright endeavours, some notion is then wrought
Into the new creation
Of something realised
That aids the population
When properly devised.
What best describe true brilliance and demonstrate its sense
Are practical embodiments of thought-experiments.
