There was once an enigma, strange and formless
The Mind's Eye, it was called; its meaning not fully grasped
For its persona has come to life in many facets
And spontaneity, though strange, is unmatched and au courant
The Mind's Eye can see, as clear as crystal water.
Ideas strange and new, pure like driven snow.
It has no limits, I agree to the latter.
Many has admired him, and stared with awe.
The Mind's Eye gained a following,
Thousands applauded and cheered
But one day, a little rebel, the brave little thing
Dared to copy the Mind's Eye, the one he revered.
The Mind's Eye is unique, as mentioned at the start.
He was wily and charismatic, a crowd pleaser he was
Remember the little thief? The cruel little rebel?
He imitated the Mind's Eye, and his famed the copycat passed.
The Mind's Eye found out, and how furious he was!
"Copycat! Thief! He stole my work!"
Unfortunately for him, little rebel was smart.
The crowd liked his work better, this made him irked.
The Mind's Eye let it slip, for what harm can it do?
A lot, it seems, for many a-person followed his footsteps too.
Time has passed, the Mind's Eye grew old,
Lost his following, his presence has gone cold.
The Mind's Eye is now dull. His shine has gone with his age.
His originality has faded, ideas copied and effortlessly sold
Everything is copied of everything, they're all on the same page
And I mean that in a bad way, they all stole from each other but wealth twofold.
Time has evolved, and everywhere we see
Similar ideas who think they're first of their kind.
But what they don't know is that they weren't the first ones to be
The first one of all, the forgotten
The blinded Mind's Eye.
