Author's Note: This poem was inspired by the quote below from Jekyll and Hyde. It is about how man's curiosity is so powerful and that the search for truth can be dangerous and may not always be what we expect or hope for.
"Has the greed of curiosity too much command of you?"
-------------------------
Enslaved by curiosity
Enveloped by questions
Hungering for answers
Mind filled with inquiries
Constantly a reminder
Of the pain that surrounds them
Pushing, pushing, pressing on
Driving forward for knowledge
Driving forward for truth
Answers found
Honest and odious
Painfully cutting deep within\
Desperately aching to take them back
To erase them, to wash them away
Leaving them undiscovered and unknown
We all have curiosities
That we long to be answered..
But sometimes the truth is better left unsaid
Alex- This was a really cool poem! I loved how you interpreted the quote and shaped it into this masterpiece. Great diction and nice ending!
