Emily's List Poem

Curiosity
Curiosity in dinosaurs.
Curiosity in Helen Keller.
Curiosity in hippies.
Curiosity in like before me and
life after me.
Curiosity in my grandpa.
Curiosity in Hitler’s decisions.
Curiosity in life as a homeless person.
Curiosity in those with no family,
those with no one to love them.
Curiosity in my cousin’s cancer.
Curiosity in sickness and death.
Curiosity in heaven.
Curiosity in peace.
Curiosity in why and how…
to everything.
Curiosity in my dad’s genes.
Curiosity in the reasons for terrorism and 9/11.
Curiosity in innocence.
Curiosity in the past.
Curiosity in people’s regrets;
what made them do it?
Curiosity in the unknown and never answered.
