Within A World Unseen Exceptional Poem by Terence George Craddock

there are very few people in the world
worthy of the description exceptional
among all the people in the world
the decimal percentile of people
who can claim to be incredibly exceptional
is a very small distinguished minority
these people are the reason words like genius exist
phrases like photographic memory total recall exist;

such people can see a map
recall every feature contour line
read a book recall every word
on every page on every line
people who can crack calculus
mathematics only an elite handful
of people in the world can comprehend;

a mind that can solve the Riemann Hypothesis will
unlock an avalanche of advanced further progress
across subject fields Number Theory and Analysis
until then a dam blocks a vast river of math research;

people who can invent machines in their mind
see every part moving piece as a three dimensional
model can flip to focus upon any part within an
invention's complexity such people can walk
unnoticed in the world recruited as children teenagers
trained for roles within intelligence communities
within clandestine special government agencies
the exceptional can walk as shadows pass unnoticed;

within society intellectual exceptional can mask hide abilities
artists singers in contrast can be star visual audio exceptional
within this entertainment genre are in focus in world spotlights
on huge audience stages in the limelight are premia exceptional
entertainers it is easy to tell who impacts an entertainment world
the intelligentsia exceptional can have profound impacts unsung
never heard of the world can astound exist advance
nature holds secrets math within invisible worlds;
