I Explore


If humankind never explore I find it hard to believe that the world will continue to spin anymore than a top that lost its child owner It will sit as still as a home whose family grew tired of and so moved on letting it slowly and painfully morph into a grotesque rot of its former glory If man and woman never seek the unseen then life would become as obsolete as a remaining number in the many products of God's creations We crave to witness the essence of beauty covered in the challenge of discovery by those who have been so in our past And I am not exempt from this desire, this thirst perpetuated by the sun's endless cycles I search for the amazing in the most ugly of situations I try to hear my God in the most blasphemous of conversations I mix struggle with Joy and produce heaven's rain from lemons I want to capture the world onto a canvas of sky blue lines, charging them with the power to maintain the Earth's rotations I want to explore the sound sleep of children to the lullaby of a mother making a fool of impossible, how government always seems to overflow with devils I want to discover the life in death Use my pen to chizzle out the hidden messages in stone hearts I want to explore my convictions, and see if they match the strength of a man who wreaks terrible havoc for his God Because if we don't explore, the world sits still And life would become complacent without change So I play my part I write
