A puzzle is a mystery,
a missing part, a hole,
A gap in things we fully see,
an answer, yet untold.

"What's missing from the ch__ch today?
U-R," and then we laugh,
Well, pray thee why more faith betray,
right now than in the past?

Why do most see a world that's worse,
today than e'er before?
To hear them tell,...they've good dispersed,
in language to deplore.

Why do we have more money now,
than ever have in past?
Yet, more is less as presses plow,
devalue is the task.

We're told complexity results,
as simpler forms evolve,
Yet complex minds devolve to strut,
their theories, yet unsolved.

Mayhaps the puzzles caused by Man,
are less of Truth revealed,
And more of Pride and Prejudice,
refusing thoughts, kept sealed.
