The Unsolvable Riddle

15 July 2021 5:43 pm

An unsolvable riddle thought up long ago
By whom it was thought nobody knows

Why it was thought has been debated for years
It has been disected by skeptics and subjected to jeers

Scholars and philosophers regail it as transendant
Preachers and teachers regard it with repentance

Wars were fought between those who think they know
But none have an explaination to show

So what is this riddle that has caused so much strife?
It is the eternal riddle called life.
