Puppets On a String

Is it a state of confusion or unlimited knowledge, 

where are we to go?

When one is down and beat, 

why do we allow?

Many questions, which have been asked before,

the common resolution is one must perserve!

There are many paths to take or not.

what is the loss, if one takes no risk?

There is a method, which is sure to complete, 

this approach is often ill destined.

The question remains, what is the euphoria or the misery?

What must, one do to realize their fate?

Results are so inestimable, but risk is so extraordinary!

What will you do?

Be a puppet or an innovator like I,

"A Challenged Conquistador!"

Risk Takers can be Winners, 

WAKE UP WORLD, LIFE IS RISK!

No Questions, No Rewards!

Nothing!

This poem calls out for specifics! Show don't tell. I like "puppet" and the sound and sense of "challenged conquistador". I really get the angst, I just wish I had specifics. What prompted "risk is so extraordinary"?
