The questions sit
Inside
Rattling about
Rocks in a can
Disturbing the peace
They have to come out

Doesn't matter who
Doesn't matter when
In front of who
The recklessness
Of your curiosity
Shakes the world

People walk by
They listen and shake their heads
The internet laughs
They point to the trolls
Corporations listen
Equal mixture curious and afraid
Governments listen
In abject terror
And besmirch your character

Doesn't matter who
Doesn't matter when
In front of who
The recklessness
Of your curiosity
Shakes the world

Rattle cages and
Rattle minds
Wonder at the imperfection
Of the world's so called sanity
Question it all
Always ask
Discomfort breeds truth
Truth makes things happen

Doesn't matter who
Doesn't matter when
In front of who
The recklessness
Of your curiosity
Changes the world
Based on a conversation with a dear friend of mine, he originally coined the line 'recklessness of your curiosity' and it stuck in me.
