As I Wander

As I wander,
I often ponder
Why do so many men pontificate?
They often mitigate
The great truths of this universe

Prodigious truths and secrets in this plane
So much energy at dawn, now passing over the
Midday sun, slowly that bright light begins to wane

Is it foolish of me to continue on this odyssey, I ask?
A nomad just wandering and searching for answers
May be a Sisyphean task

I'm still moving but just not as fast
That inquisitive itch is still there.
But I don't know how long my scratch will last

Well! As far as I can see and as long as there is an itch
I guess I'll be wandering and pondering until
They cover me in a ditch
