A POETIC INQUIRY

I am not making any changes to my Big Question because it still has relevance in my mind and I'm still looking for steps to the answer. My question was basically "why do we have so much and allow others to have so little". I found this sonnet that ties into my question:

Truth that is masked by the heart of a man

Can only explain the start of a lie

A lie so heavy, it spits on your plan

Left with emptiness, your soul on crows fly

Lost while still young, forgotten by the path 

Living with shame, that no longer gives pain 

Held at the throat by the questions wrath 

How dark was made, that ignorant stain 

Now you delve into knowledge left by the wise 

In order to uncover a truth that was hidden

Burdened with sorrow whilst the nurser cries

Hindered by usurpers who have want of no lesson 

Hold on to the railing, prepare a strong mind 

For never you know what's out there to find

I liked this sonnet because I think a lot of the time people will choose to ignore the truth. We know that bad things happen but we block them out and ignore them because they don't directly affect us. I've always wanted to know the truth about everything, whether it's good or bad and this sonnet seemed to summarize the strong mind I strive for. In my big question I ask why we put up with the unfairness and a reason is because we ignore the truth but we need to challenge ourselves to search for the truth. We don't have to be ignorant so we shouldn't choose to be. 

The sonnet is from Jordan Dickinson on this website.
