My Need To Know
By
Carl Brooks
As I plod within this world I'm in,
The road is mean... the air is thin.
My plans invoked, dissolve as smoke,
Or fake tattoos upon the skin.
Of life I drink... I taste the beast,
I gorge myself at waking feast.
The meat is tough... not near enough.
My hunger grows, like active yeast.
The more I learn... the more I need,
My hungry mind, a wanting seed.
Give me life and set me free,
I'll do the rest, from goal to deed.
When death is near, what have we done?
Our medals donned, our trophies won.
This... "need to know," like wart does grow,
In desperate quest to beat the gun.
