Prey to Curiosity

We all fall prey to curiosity like a weak animal.

Birds of rule and reign

At their mercy; prey

Upon the weak and willing

Just as man, when it comes to his curiosity

We are all curious, but the key is to reign it in so that we don't let it get the best of us. A thought=provoking piece.

These are thought provoking lines, and in many ways I second Jacob's comment.

But as Albert Einstein said; 'The important thing is not to stop questioning… Never lose a holy curiosity.'

Beccy.

the birds do it for survival as do other animals...but man...does it because he can just to show superiority...
it's so sad...

well expressed in few words.

This sounds very deep and philosophical. The brevity of the poem allows for multiple interpretations and gives the air of mystery to a wonderful write. Thank you for sharing this one, Michael...:)

Just a little something I threw together from scattered ideas, lol. I'm always a victim of my curiousity.your comments are gems I appreciate.

[Bright Ocean Star]

you are most welcome...:)

That was refreshing. I was worried you were going to make some religious statement. This is actually completely different, it challenges the past and is critically smart.

[Michael G. Smith]

Why would you worry about a religious statement? I for one welcome insight into the Lord Jesus Christ but, I am glad you did like this. I had that first two lines for awhile waiting for the rest to write itself.

I never thought of it in that way- but that's so true. Well said.

[Michael G. Smith]

I have a skewed perspective, lol.

[uNmAsKeD-dEluSiOns]

Well yeah but I'd describe it as more unique and different- but it's good :)
