The Great Mysteries
aren’t fiendishly difficult to solve,
which is why they are rarely solved;
too many search for
keys to the complex locks
so visible on the door,
when all they need to do
is push upon them and
walk right through;
the Greater Mysteries
have their solutions
written upon
the welcome mat
at the feet of the frantic
sleuths fumbling there;
the solution to
the Greatest Mystery
Of All
isn’t even on
the other side
of the door
but don’t expect to hear
anything about that one
if you refuse to put down
that key and turn away
from the door
that was put there
for the sole purpose of distracting you
and getting you to walk away
from the truth.
