The Unknown

I don't know

anything about anything

the list is so long.

I don't know

why the creatures of the deep

have hundreds of pointed teeth.

I don't know

why our planet rains water

while others rain glass.

I don't know

how the panther plans its move

a calculating shadow of the night.

I don't know

how creativity runs wild

alive in its own right.

I don't know

where the dead wander

in the eternity of the afterlife.

I don't know

where hatred comes from

its damage in plain sight.

I don't know

who made the universe

a god or a crow?

I don't know

who exists beyond the stars

little green men or their robotic counterparts.

I don't know

what theoretical derivatives are

some ridiculous math I suppose.

I don't know

what my existence means

am I even a living being?

I don't know anything

And yet here I still am

Scared of my ignorance.
