Curiosity! So admirable and so worthwhile. It never ‘killed a cat.’ It’s so much more than that. in one who has it, It may seem idiosyncratic.
But a treasure trove potential, Of the jewelled and ideal, Experiential and essential, Meant to be a quality of more than ‘simple’, Curiosity which makes you strong, Through broadened knowledge, Every living thing and not, a college, It is spirit: spirit of enquiry - For none deny It is a spirit. Oddity but spirit always is; All have, few use, The masses leaning on old views.
One thinks a thought and wonders why And where and how and who And so on till the thought is through. These days it’s only to pursue And follow through: so easy With technology.
A universal literacy is all that’s needed. Freedom helps. Once seeded, curiosity might gain nobility, Respectability. Both well deserved And In the end, serve self And all humanity.
