Things are changing,
Days of new are dawning,
Birds sing; People invent,
Our current standing is something-
That some never thought possible,
Everyone is growing,
The world is growing,
Our understanding, On the other hand,
Remains the same.
We still do not understand how everything works.
We can break everything down,
Piece by piece,
But we can't understand why the things of the world,
And perhaps; Worlds,
Are so complex.
No matter what questions are answered,
There will always be ten more,
With every answer.
We grow in knowledge,
But do we know what to do with all of it?
Only the brave question what we consider we "Know."
And perhaps we will one day find out..
For what reason do the stars shine,
Why do we breathe Oxygen instead of Nitrogen?
Why, for what purpose, did the sun become what it is, The sun?
What is humanities purpose in life?
So many questions more than may never be answered,
I challenge you, the people of my Earth,
To ask questions--To find answers-----To understand.
May you learn well

Description:
I wrote this poem in my Freshman year(Last year)
Mid first semester.
It reflects my feelings towards Society. Not only that, but of the people of the world. We all show mass cowardice, In this poem, I challenge the reader to brave themselves against the world, and stop to wonder "Why?". I hope you enjoy :)
This Poem is also posted on my deviantArt account. My deviantID Name is
