When confronted with a mind immense

-
When confronted with a mind immense,
Some submit meekly,
And thus get formed intellectual hirearchies.

Some are scared, petrified,
"Save the order, jail that mind!"
Thus, happens intellectual isolation.

Some ensconced in processes their own,
Ignore, avoid, escape that mind immense,
Thus are born conflicting schools of intellect.

While some confront, challenge, get challenged,
Victory in loss, loss in vistory,
The victory of understanding in victory and loss,
The true spirit of intellecual respect,
Camaraderie indescibable in words mortal,
Intellectual bonding beyond vistory and loss,
Seeds of a friendship beyond words or acts,
And intellectual progress for man and his kind.
