i wish to know
EVERYTHING.
in each moment i am parched.
i thirst so actively all
that i have dined &
drank with fervor
before is forgotten.
i only feel the yearn for
my current endeavor.
it is honest & crucial &
easily forgotten.
the experience earned
lingers in nostalgia
& my unquenchable thirst
moves on
to enlightenment & awareness
the insatiable hunger for
knowledge
of the dismal truth &
heartache.
i cry for the neutered
civilizations
i bleed for the misrepresented
i eat for the quieting of
my own curiosity to experience
my own self as fully as able
i push to feel the limit
i gaze to soak it all
i do with all i have in me
channeling those before me
to create or intake an
entire landscape of
environmental & spiritual
awareness.
i am consistently overwhelmed
and yet famished.
i stress to become full
knowing my mind has
a tapeworm & knows
no satiation.

Much to like in this poem. Great concept.

Find another word for “education.”

Should it be “hunger for knowledge?”

yes! it should definitely be "for"
mmm i think "enlightenment" may be a better trade out for "education"
