Not to Know
Morning breaks a quiet night,
A song through sullen air;
An understated, magic light
Yet, we do not care.
We're told of why it happens,
The orbit of our sphere,
Still, instead of mapping,
Most lend not their ear.
But I protest this feeling:
Satisfaction in "I don't know,"
My ignorance keeps me asking,
And how far my questions do go.
There is one thing that I do need,
To give meaning to my life;
What I need is not to know,
So that my knowledge intensifies.
This poem is about:
Me
Our world
