Truth Seeker - Constanza

Is it wrong to be curious
Waiving scarlet badges as sleuths 
When seeking universal truths

Dangling notions precarious
Willing to eviscerate all
Nimbly tantalize or extoll

Worrisome beliefs fallacious
Distorted enough to inflex 
Then twirl in a blurry vortex 

Dubious if not oblivious 
Seeking truths and taking the plunge
Finding distortions to expunge

Two cents short of being delirious
Bubbling falsehoods bewilder
Bundled lies for the coroner

Is it wrong to be curious
Dangling notions precarious
Worrisome beliefs fallacious
Dubious if not oblivious 
Two cents short of being delirious

Thanks, Mike. Indeed, so often we think it's better not to know.
