"I Don't Know" Poem by Kyryl Postolnik

"I Don't Know"



Oh, mommy, tell me - what to do,
If all I know is - knowing nothing?
I don't know why the sky is blue,
And don't know how the time is passing.

Oh, mommy, please, what should i do
And where is rightness for conclusions?
What, if at last, i have been through,
But this will be the blank illusion.

I don't know this, I don't know that
I don't know still, if I exist
So many minds visit my head.
But which are mine? I need shortlist.

I don't know that, I don't know this,
I don't know, even, if i'm thinking.
But i know happiness, as meed.
So what to do for make us linking?

Even, even, if i'm thinking,
But i'm sure in, what i know:
I'll check out, when i grow;
I feel better just right now,
When don't mind about how.
Even, even for my linking
Happiness I wanna know.
Should i stay, or should i go?

Mothers answer seems like true:

"Knowledge better, if it's new,
Soul gift is - just for few.
If the heart is - like some gun,
Let it choose the only one."
