Oh lord, please leave me just one stone unturned
to save the insects living underneath
from the monotony of mysteries learned
and being without questions of what lies beneath.
Please leave all those eager souls in the dark
so they may enjoy the thrill in the ask
The excitement gained from a question mark
often outweighs what is behind truth's mask.
That is not to say that you should live blind
but you should let the answers seek you
and each unturned stone that you may find
will justify everything that you do.
People forget that knowledge is sour
and the question itself holds the power.
Sir, you are a great poet, and your writing demonstrates deep insight into the intricacies of life and the human heart and mind. Much respect.
