Genius Child by Langston Hughes

This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can-
Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle,
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child.
Kill him - and let his soul run wild.

-Langston Hughes

Closing all scilab figures with one command

I observed that to close all figure windows in scilab, we can't use
>> close all
like in MATLAB.
After looking around, got the equivalent command in scilab. It is,
>> xdel(winsid())

peace.
