Phineas Gage Song

// _??_ means staccato
// Verse 1 - Phineas
Phineas Gage was struck in the head,
But yet he did not meet the dead.
An iron rod went through his brain,
The years he lived, life not in vain.
He lived for 12 more years before,
His head caught up and changed the score.
Gage was a medical mystery,
His name ringing throughout history.
Why did he live, among the masses,
Playing along with circumstances?
His skull was broken, down to bits,
The injury removing his wits.
He become extremely vulgar,
His words not well to his mother.
// Verse 2 - Battle
Phrenologists _vs_ Whole Brainers,
One thinking this, one thinking that.
The phrenologists' point of view,
was that the brain is multiple organs.
The rod that passed through Phineas's head,
traveled straight through respect and kindness.
Evidence like this can't be denied,
Phrenologists thinking they won.
But the whole brainers come back as well,
Stating Gage could not have survived,
if he hadn't a brain made formless;
Why would he be alive if they weren't right?
Maybe it was Phineas Gage's might?
// Verse 3 - Answer
This question got answered later,
The answer itself quite major.
Both were wrong, but both correct,
They didn't know what they truly meant.
Whole brainers got the groove,
Function substitution on a cruise.
Phrenologists also got it mean,
Different parts make it gleam.
The brain's connections severed from,
The main connection's patterns.
Functions filling in for functions,
Substitution, quite important.
// Verse 4 - End
In the end, we learned it all,
The brain is not as it seems.
Different than thought, new as YEEET,
He taught us well, skip the beat.
Phineas Gage was struck in the head,
Thought to die, he defied the dead.
Running away from his destiny,
He forged an entire new legacy.
The founder of our knowledge,
A personality savage,
He'll remain in memory,
As he has for centuries.
BEAT DROP!!!!!!!!!
