Inexplicable

INEXPLICABLE

Wondering through the scenes of earth 
Only sexagenarians will tell there is nothing to fetch

Rummage on, then and now
Astonished we are so we take a bow

So many questions with answers ungiven
Yet deliver testimonies to look uncraven

Why stay young when time is old
Our unique success is that of being bold

And to those that claim of knowledge precise
Still inevitable they find earth’s greatest price

Rumination remains always capable
But we cannot cheat the realm, forever inexplicable!
