The Big Question - An Agnostic Enquiry Poem by Michael Adeosun

In solitary have I popped the question.
A million times have I queried
in my desire to know.
A desire for knowledge not shaped by conformity.
A knowledge genuine and undiluted.
A knowledge devoid of doctrine and myths.

I asked to know...
I asked to understand if all these are by design.
I asked to know...
I asked to understand if it all came about by accident
Was it just a breath?
Was it by mere proclamation?
Was it an act of pottery
and an extraction of the rib
that jumpstarted the primal couple?

Or, did it all just start like a bang?

A big explosion

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Maybe there is a supernatural being.

Could be some supernatural beings.

The truth might eternally elude us as
we hold on to our blissful conjectures.
