Where Are We Headed

Where are we headed? I know not where
Where are we headed? I know not why
Where are we headed? I know not how
Where are we headed? I know not to whom

Is it better to know or not to know?
Is it better on my own or with you?
Is it better if you come to me or I go to you?

Wonder is an aphrodisiac that may lead me to you
Surprise is not enticing but it may lead me to you
Uncertainty is terrifying yet exciting and it may lead me to you

Where are we headed, me and you?
Where are we headed? hopefully not to doom
Where are we headed in this world and how will we bloom?

A poem about heightened curiosity from a feared looming unpleasantness. Much like Man to want to deal with stark ignorance of A Situation through sustained questioning, if he could help it. in the poem we are greeted with Communication Gap.

Quite a string of pros and cons in your poem. Problem is there is no sure answer. You must go to where your heart leads. Still I like your argumentative poem.
