It may not be a phenomenal poem stylistically, but the underlying thought seems right on. Asking questions that have no answers and praising ignorance doesn't make as much sense (unless I don't understand it yet), but the rest is fine. The imperatives have their own bite, but if you're listening to the poem in the first place, you won't follow even these imperatives blindly anyway. I love it.

This is truly fucking garbage. By the way, it’s hilarious that a poem that consist of giving orders is celebrating “the questions that have no answers.” This is truly fucking garbage.

I'm glad I now know what all the secrets of life are, and exactly what the right things to do with one's life are. If I hadn't been given the answers to everything, this might seem to be more about the metadata of living than actual life. Too much conception always strikes me as showy and unhumble. Almost violent. Who wrote this– Bono?
