Sometimes... Poem by David Whalen

Sometimes...



<center>
Sometimes tis better
to not know the answers
Better to not know
what's on the other side of the fence

Oft times tis better
To live in the not knowing
To allow one's imagination
To indulge in suspense

Sometimes it's better
The fact of not knowing
To let others enlighten us
Of the truth, not pretense

Sometimes tis better
To be dumb and be blind
To not see or to hear
What might torment one' sense

Sometimes tis better
And oft times less bitter
Since oft times not knowing
tis one's only defense

Sometimes tis better
To dwell in the darkness
To be a bit unenlightened of…
What's on the other side of the fence

I love this. What we don't know can't hurt us, right? As a former English teacher, though, I can tell you that you need an S after the apostrophe in the last line of the fourth verse: ONE'S SENSE Well written. I enjoyed it very much.
