The More I Learn

The More I Learn

...the less I know.

The prophets are gesturing
for me to grab my notebook
and to share with you
what they've just told to me.

I started our conversation
by saying to the prophets:

It's getting harder to know
the more I learn.

It's getting more difficult
for me to climb up that ladder,
I once believed would deliver
my soul to God.

And as I grow in uncertainty,
I'm curiously more at peace.

Then the prophets said to me:

Once you know this,
there's nothing else you must do.

I took a test in Existentialism.
I left all the answers blank and got 100.
