There has always been too much to know
And every moment there is more
The universe accelerates its expansion
So does knowledge
And we little human beings
Who in childhood dreamed to know it all
Grow through out lifetimes smaller and smaller
In the part of the expanding all we will never know.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

George Krokos 10 March 2020
