When from his cave, young Mao in his youthful mind
A work to renew old China first designed,
Then he alone interpreted the law,
and from tradtional fountains scorned to draw:
But when to examine every part he came,
Marx and Confucius turned out much the same.
I chose this poem for a few reasons. I like that it spoke of someone who thought outside of the box, but it talked about this individual in a unique way. Most people do not recognize or acknowledge the negative that can be accompanied with thinking outside of the box and how hard it can actually be. I though this poem was unique in the perspective it took on initiative and individuality.
