Seek Trial and Error

Seek Trial and Error Seek what is right in a world filled with myth Entering now with my family and kith Each day is a test to judge what is right Knowing its change in the course of the night On making attempts to stay on my course To further myself and find a new force Fore’ my brain atrophies I must enforce A brilliant new theory I can endorse The theories exposed when I know I am wrong Make me more anxious so I can be strong Form new ideas as the start of a song Eliminate errors where they don't belong The pride of my theory produced to a fact For life is a trial that I must endure To sharpen and hone so I feel secure From various forms of ideas I have hacked

Very well-written, Ralph--makes me think of how, even today, new things are being discovered or invented! Janice

I like this, Ralph. You say you were raised religious. So was I. I am curious to know how you feel about religion today. My birds and bees poems was true but I am not someone who is into porn. haha. (just wanted to make sure you knew that). I got my curiosity satisfied when I married!

Hi Emile: I believe that life is full of trials and errors but it'd better that you can look back on them. Thank you for your comment.
