Driven by curiosity <br />the monkey mind of modern man. <br />Creates new technology <br />to find out everything he can. <br /> <br />Regardless of the consequence. <br />He has to know, he is obsessed. <br /> Although rarely can he make sense <br />of things that catch his interest. <br /> <br />He has to try and satisfy <br /> his raging curiosity. <br />The normal rules do not apply <br /> to someone searching earnestly <br /> <br />for answers to the mysteries <br />Which have bedevilled humankind. <br />Throughout all mankind’s history. <br />The answers we will never find. <br /> <br />Some knowledge is forbidden us <br /> Because we do not need to know <br />We’re immature and dangerous. <br />We must accept the Status Quo <br /> <br />Until we learn to think ahead <br />Consider probabilities <br />alternatives to use instead <br />within our capabilities. <br /> <br />We are spendthrift and profligate <br />Take what we want without remorse <br /> Destroy much more than we create. <br />Greed is the creed which we endorse. <br /> <br />04/04/2009 <br />http.blog.myspace.com.poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forbidden-knowledge-for-dr-h-sheth/
