Curiosity is a natural trait to have, when young,
Opposing the beaten-down interest of our grown.
It is a survival instinct I would hazard to say -
A result of millennia preparing for the unknown.
But questions are a dangerous thing to some,
There are those who benefit from our innocence.
Leaders and parents alike teach the lot of us
Not to question, to believe they know our deliverance.
And therein lies the fragility of their faith -
For if it cannot uphold to a child’s scrutiny,
How reliable of a belief could it possibly be?
But to point these things out is akin to mutiny.
So, we douse the flames of the budding youth,
We must make them think exactly like the rest,
Any dissent could start a backward slide -
Never forget, the powerful always know best.
It is this one idea that all evil understands,
Once you control the knowledge, you control them all.
As a seed of doubt is unlikely to uncling,
A little learning is truly a dangerous thing.
