There is a need
That not everyone sees
A gap
That lingers in the shadows
Society can live
Without it filled
Yet it holds the whole world back
*
A third eye spots the hole
And a mind toils
Crafting the perfect plug
With future dreams
Feeling driven
To advance humanity
Even a single step
*
Completion comes
And the inventor tenses
Introducing their baby
The product of tears
And blood-tinged sweat
Hoping it helps
Or harms

Great poem! I also think of authors as inventors (of worlds). The last verse really brought that home for me.

Thanks. I didn’t realize the author connection until you mentioned it. Kept thinking of mechanical inventors.
