Where would I be without Curiosity?

March 6, 2016

I dream about skydiving

Veins clenched with adrenaline

I wonder if I would be alarmed

Or if I would be jovial

I often think to myself

How did humans

Learn to make fire

Was it something they witnessed

Or was the thought inspired?

What gave the founding fathers

Courage to design a new country

Where people were free

And British rule would never exist

I ponder over how I came

To love Jesus- my savior

Was I born into this religion,

Or was I aware that he was my creator?

Then I wonder

How would I know-

How would anyone know

Without curiosity?

It's what inspires us

To create extraordinary things

Curiosity calls us too

Take a leap of faith and spread our wings

This is the one thing

I cannot thrive without

Because without curiosity

We will not figure out

A cure for cancer

Or who we really are

How to stop racism

Or how to end diseases

We will remain stagnant

The human race would not grow

With curiously absent

Magnificence would go unknown
