Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Careful What You Ask For

~   So much exquisite history today,


                    That piques our curiosity to seek ...


          The information midst our DNA,


                              Unloosed with but a swab inside our cheek ...


                    But some are secrets, best left ... to mystique.   ~
