The Quest Poem by Tunji Ibrahim

Mother Nature holds the key and immures the known in the chest, setting a test. Man zealously sets off in a quest, thinking beyond the blaze of pace, challenging Mother Nature to the race of space... and to the space of race. The mirage of perpetual quest of the unknown; the test exposes his propensity to worship his imaginative crudity, pushing him further and further to permanent his curiosity... the nadir of preconceived cupidity. His quest but ominously moves him closer, closer and closer to the sham vault, the cosmic ology of Mother Nature's private part, ceaselessly being raped to conceive and bear. His face, veil of shame and avarice. He rebels not against his religion of quest even though his manhood betrays him.
