There Are Many Things I Do Not Know

In my quest to conquer, from valleys to cities
From rivers to hilltops, deserts to valleys of ice
Until reaching focal point to realize
That there are many things I do not know:
My shadow is my best companion
Yet, I will never know everything about it
For mysteries are partners in life
Things happen behind closed doors,
Too much is taking place behind the scenes,
And there is a lot going on underground
Things I will never know about

Hence I have been searching for answers:
Do babies pray in their mothers' wombs?
Does the sun ever get angry?
Do the moon and the stars ever get bored?
The world is flooding with secrets
With things making souls filthy,
And things filling hearts with happiness
Things that will never be known
Like deeds tormenting creatures in the dark world

In the world of life and death
Freedom is good and inspirational
Opening doors for emancipation
Everyone riding on the wagon of being free
Doing things that will never come in the open
Making the world becomes round and flat
People fighting over emptiness
Many carrying hatred in the luggage's
While love is all what we need; I do not know why,
But I know, this is a world of challenges
Where people never stop waving
Coming into others' lives, pretend to be genuine
Only to make them lose way, and disappear

There are many things I do not know,
But I know, technology does things differently
Science has its ups and downs
However, life is force of multiple dimensions
Moving along diverse forces of unknown origin;
Hence, there  are many things I do not know,
But I will keep calling Mother Nature
To keep sending messages of peace
For tomorrow will come and go
History repeating itself, with questions without answers...
... There will always be many things I do not know
