A brainwave in a jar, I say,
A spark of thought, boxed up for play.
A current zips, a fleeting trace,
Captured now in glassy space.

Behold the genius, packed in glass,
A cosmic thought of matters vast,
It dances, flickers—oh, what grace!
Yet trapped in silence, in this place.

No longer free to roam the skies,
To question truth, to theorize.
It's bottled up, and yet, we cheer—
Such wisdom, neatly reappeared.

A jar of thought, a brainwave's glow,
A moment's spark, a brilliant show.
But ponder this—when brains are free,
Do we not crave their liberty?

So let this wave, in glass confined,
Be proof that genius is hard to bind.
But we, poor souls, with eager hands,
Can capture lightning where it stands.

Now, perhaps, we'll sell it for a fee,
The fleeting thought of what could be.
A thought in glass—a jarred delight—
Captured, yes, but is it right?
