Meru

I thought this poem was speaking of the inherit desire for knowledge that is possessed by man and man kinds yearning to understand everything that is going on around us. Civilization is brought together by its unanimous ignorance in understanding the ways of the universe. Man fears what he may learn by delving into such a question, however he cannot stop himself from frantically looking for the answer everywhere he goes. The desire for knowledge and curiosity out weighs the fear. However just as "day brings round the night," life brings round death. Time will take away everything that humanity has earned and there will be nothing left to even prove that it ever existed in the first place.
