Don't Ask

To question is an act meant to collect;
An information-gathering instigation.
But consider beyond common intellect
The desired question’s answer’s implication.

Why initiate your public detriment?
Consideration never made the link,
Blank ignorance would leave you more content,
While pride repudiates you did not think.

Investigator, deign to reminisce.
Discomfort lounges jointly upon you
And your target, therefore seek to ponder this:
A response not one you want an answer to.
