Agnostic Poem by Toby Twigg

Agnostic



No one knows why some choices made are unwise / certainly not I
Or why some are out of step with the universal mind / as is mine
All I know for sure is, I know nothing' for sure

There are those that believe with all their heart / I know not why
They see things that are not here or there / that I cannot
All I know for sure is, I know nothing' for sure

While others are willing to kill or die
For an idea that I cannot comprehend
Or bring about a final end

Without trying to mend a broken fence
To me / just makes no sense
All I know for sure is, I know nothing' for sure.

I like introspective poems like this. They tell me more about what's going on in the hearts and minds of people I don't know and probably will never know, than the formally well-polished poems that some people favour, with perfect metric and rhyme but ultimately merely formalistic accomplishments and devoid of... don't know, can we say ‘angst', passion? Well done.
