The Unknown


What is known shall not be sought

Perhaps what is believed will perish

Though why it should be so may not be perceived

it is evident what exists should not be conceived

beyond what is understood does little certainty skim upon

yet the wonders of the almighty speak among

Sifting through the hefty mysteries

seeking preposterous reassurance may just be the beginning of sanction

Must it be ourselves to justify the ludicrous minds to engulf dependency amongst the unknown

as fear strikes to poach for the vulnerable

Eluding the near tangible aspect of such nonsense

one must thrive and flourish in stupendous austerity, fleeing the mysterious presence.
