Why do we really have to know?

Do you have to?
Do I have to?

Why do you?
Why do I?

Why should you?
Why should?

Why do we really have to know?

Why this need?
What's the compulsion?

Let me be me
You be you

We will explore as
We get along!

  1. cogito ergo sum,

    This 3 pound organ lodged between our ears is a meddlesome nuisance isn't it?
    Many people, most of them very happy, are quite content to only use it in the instance of extreme emergency.

    Ignorance is bliss but it's like being monochromatic in a rainbow world.
    write on...
