Blasphemous mankind

Overstepping nature's laws.
 
Zeus's thunderbolts strike!

l want to ask you questions
Though perhaps that is rude
I just want to know more about you
Yet do not want to intrude

From your poetry words

I will never enquire
You will always remain a mystery
Whilst your poetry l read and admire

Rare are those among us 
who gain wisdom 
without errors,

without overstepping a line 
we are not allowed 
to go beyond,

without daring to be different
from what we are

Yet, they're the ones who do 
the perilous trailblazing 
for all of us,

who map out the constraints 
that we can outgrow and 
must overcome,

who, in the frenzy of finding out 
what's beyond, must draw

Can I advise you something
One's right can never be
Simply questioned 
No advice is welcome
People don't like advice
A matter of humiliating
A matter of meddling

In proper procedures
It must be said in a nice way
With politeness
With good words
With limits
No abuse of course
But everyone must behave 
Well and wisely 
So that no advice is ever needed...

Rare are those among us  who can learn
        without committing errors,
without daring to become a bit more
        than we are allowed to be,
without overstepping a line we are prohibited
        from going beyond.

But they're the ones who do the perilous
        trailblazing for most of us,
who map out the obstacles we can outgrow
        and must overcome,
who, in the frenzy of finding what's beyond,
        must draw the first blood!...
