                                  The thoughts keep churning
                                  my mind always turning
                                  wondering about one thing or another
                                  wanting to know all that I can
                                  looking at issues from every angle
                                  pondering the mysteries life sets before me
                                  trying to answer the questions I hear
                                  seeking the knowledge
                                  Of what?
                                  I know not
                                  Yet still I search
                                  constantly learning
                                  listening
                                  absorbing
                                  debating with others
                                  take opposite positions
                                  to learn different outlooks
                                  others opinions
                                  digest their words
                                  weigh thier arguments
                                  the stimulation of conversation
                                  the arousal of the printed word
                                  Knowledge is power so i have heard
                                  I don't seek power
                                  I seek to learn
                                  to be able to pass along what I know
                                  to those that I meet
                                  and help them grow
                                  to satisfy the hunger that burns within me
                                  this unending need
                                  the desire to know
