8. This week…
All things in life have their causes Not a moment to waste; there are no pauses Where every decision matters, To those on a path so tattered By use, by history, by the effects of others In science we can track where we go, What we do, what we choose, the eb and flow. We ask new questions every day, A part of the brain that away just can’t stay So we read and we learn about what causes what To understand and guess when life passes us a lot To reach back in time and do it again, Trying to understand life’s wonderland
