This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can -
Lest the song get out of hand.
<i>Nobody loves a genius child<i>
Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle,
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?
<i>Nobody loves a genius child<i>
<i>Kill him<i> - and let his soul run wild.
-Langston Hughes
