The Pool of all Knowledge

Murky waters, dark and deep,
Oh, what secrets do you keep,
Ease the tortures in my mind,
Inner peace, help me to find.

Tell me now, I have to know,
Show me please, which way to go,
Time is short, my heart beats fast,
Let my future meet your past.

Slowly in, my toe I dip,
Careful, careful, must not slip!
Yes, that's what I want to know,
Further - deeper - do I go.

All at once, I know my fate,
I no longer have to wait,
Knowledge buffets me around,
All the answers, I have found.

All life's pathways, mapped out clear,
No more questions, no more fear,
How I'll live and when I'll die,
I have seen with my own eye.

Am I happy, am I sad,
What about this glimpse I've had?
Most of all, I've learned this,
Ignorance, it's true, is bliss.
