The Experiment (Original)

in story •  8 years ago

We are the children of experimentation

the benefactors of curiosity

given to believe we are something more

than the result of many questions

experiments that test the world

in trials by love, hate, and loss

ever recording notes

comparing choices

as though to learn

the secrets

no one

knows.

There are secrets and there are experiments

and as both, we cannot serve two masters

we can only float on and wonder

if each of us is just one part

just one cell of the sum

an experiment

            I know that I'm only a speck in the universe but at least I'm a speck in a grand picture. Great poem, @prufarchy

                A downvote was applied to partially counter earlier whale votes as an experiment to reduce whale domination of voting influence. Not intended to express an opinion on the content nor result in a net reduction of rewards or reputation (automated notice)

                  Yep, I've been reading about this experiment and decided the best way I could help would be to post normally. Steemit always keeps it interesting!

                      Thanks for the compliment Kafkanarchy84! I'm curious to see the results of this experiment, are you familiar with how long this is going to be running?
