Forbidden Knowledge For Dr H.Sheth Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Driven by curiosity
the monkey mind of modern man.
Creates new technology
to find out everything he can.

Regardless of the consequence.
He has to know, he is obsessed.
Although rarely can he make sense
of things that catch his interest.

He has to try and satisfy
his raging curiosity.
The normal rules do not apply
to someone searching earnestly

for answers to the mysteries
Which have bedevilled humankind.
Throughout all mankind’s history.
The answers we will never find.

Some knowledge is forbidden us
Because we do not need to know
We’re immature and dangerous.
We must accept the Status Quo

Until we learn to think ahead
Consider probabilities
alternatives to use instead
within our capabilities.

We are spendthrift and profligate
Take what we want without remorse
Destroy much more than we create.
Greed is the creed which we endorse.
