Thirst for Knowledge

They told the young girl as she was kneeling

In front of the Creator that one day

She would be brought the “Himmel,” so very appealing

But “der Himmel” always seemed to be away.

 

They told her to keep holding her head up high

And make room in her mind for the man in white up ahead

But when things had gone awry,

The lack of nourishment occupied her head.

 

They told her that everything could never dwindle

Since Christ has reaped those who were ripe

And brought her dear aunt into the “Himmel,”

Where paradise truly lies and people do not gripe.

 

They told her that this was life as the young girl shed a tear

In front of the mighty Creator,

And that He sometimes will not hear,

And has other tasks much greater.

 

They told her that things could be worse,

That she could be in that paradise,

But would that really be a curse

To take her place and pay her own price?

 

They told her to never let go

Once they found her behind and in front of the trigger,

But she responded with woe,

“They told me that in truth I’ll never become bigger.”

 

They came to an agreement

That there is always hope for an anew

If she does dream a dream which has a superior vehemence

Against what they formerly deemed true.

 

“Der Himmel” will perpetually exist, be there,

But there’s so much to explore

Since ignorance is everywhere,

And mysteries only continue to implore knowledge more.

 

 

 

 

So she told herself it will get better if she has an ambition,

And if she has her brain forevermore in cognition.
