The Secrets of All Ages
Some say refrain
from gazing at
this monumental
cryptic box
ignore the rusted
chains and locks
resist from prying
off its lid
and neither speak
the names inscribed
nor study numbers
on the sides
- at all costs
keep the mystery.
But you must look
prevail to free
these secrets known
as history.
