The Endless Quest
The learning process is very important and always has been,
Probably even more today than way back when.
In this wonderful era when information is "the" passport
To another realm that is totally another world, that is the fort
That will shield you from your ignorance and lethargy,
Will inspire the soul as well as the body. Eternal energy!
Your inquisitive mind will ever generate,
Will always lead you towards the knowledge and truly educate.
Many with this inquisitive mind and thirst for knowledge
Never had the opportunity to graduate from a prestigious college.
Maybe through some quirk of fate with many obstructive circumstances.
But the searching mind will not stop searching - and it dances
With the golden specter of all there is yet to know.
Hungering and thirsting with unquenchable desire to know
All there is and will ever be, never quite touching the pinnacle, we reach
With that insatiable curiosity which supplies the drive to deny defeat.
