Raised Hands

How many raised hands 
are never answered?
How many questions
are ignored or ridiculed?
Why is curiosity
so often disparaged? 
Why are so few educators 
willing to see things through?

Tiredness and mediocrity?
Or perhaps a deeper fear 
our knowledge  
is incomplete?

The next time questions 
resisting simple answers appear
what will you say or think?
