So, you have worked it all out, have no doubt;
done the sums, balanced the equation; shout
‘eureka’. Why not, for you I am pleased. I do ask
that share if you wish, but leave me to my task.
Certain, I am not; never will be; it is my choice.
I do not dine a la carte. Doubt is my voice,
a smorgasbord my preferred way to dine.
Happy for you I am, your certainty will not be mine.
You call it god, you call it illumination;
for me, life is a process of examination.
I will not pass, there are always more tests.
Come what may, I will do my best.
So, my life is a mess, that’s how it goes;
not neatly packaged, like a sitcom show.
I make mistakes, dream big dreams;
discover that nothing is what it seems.
I can cite philosophy to advance my case:
epistemology, pedagogy I can embrace.
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty principle I can attest,
measure what you can, guess the rest.
So, you have worked it all out, have no doubt;
done the sums, balanced the equation; shout
‘eureka’. Why not, for you I am pleased.
As for me, I would rather my knowledge increased.
