Life's Mysteries - Revised Yet Again
Live and learn; that is what all humans do.
Illumination of the mind may not
Flow quite as much as we would like it to.
Enlightenment forever man has sought.
Some things, however, we can’t know for sure.
Man searches for the truth of what things mean,
Yet often he is met by some detour
Since certain things man simply cannot glean,
The “ALL” of which are called life’s mysteries.
Evolving, man has solved things that were once
Riddles, but solved, these riddles gave life ease.
In otherwordly things, man is a dunce.
Elves, UFO’s, or where (on death) we go -
Such things folks claim are true we crave to KNOW!
