Unless Crayons Are Available

Does a renovation done to a merry-go-round,
Add another dimension to the environment it is in?
What about the atmosphere?

Does adding an additional playground in a neighborhood,
Increase the joy of reading?
Or free the mental capacity of children,
To accept math and science as they swing?

How great can a greatness be sustained,
If investments are prioritized to entertain...
The wealth of a mind driven to fantasize the ease of life,
One is encouraged to maintain.

These thoughts and more,
Will not be researched in depth...
At your nearest library.

These thoughts and more,
Will not occur...
As a necessary process to digest.
Unless...
Crayons are available to connect the dots!
