I Wonder Why Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Veiled in mystery
Men cannot foresee
what will come to be.
But still we try

We are not meant to see
what must come to be
inevitably
But still we try

To see through the veil
athough bound to fail
We can not prevail
but still we try.

Curiosity,
we can’t satisfy.
Is the reason why
men have to try.


Bound by fates decree.
We go on blindly
until at last we see
and then we die.
