RESEARCH

RESEARCH

In pursuit of the truth deep at its heart

Discoveries, but with no place to tether

Without all the facts, pieces slide apart

Faith like glue, can keep them together

It can sometimes be like mining for ore

Digging way down in the dust and dark

Revisiting some theories rejected before

Yet one finds that the emptiness is stark

Some hypothesis can eventually emerge

Even if one entertains some reservation

There will be confusion, needing a purge

As one seeks an alternative explanation

Research might seem as a law unto itself

Yet a lifetime of false trails do bring grief

Even if only one more book on the shelf

If all else fails, then there is always belief
