This is a pretty good poem and most of the time I'm not very predisposed to liking poems. I think that it's because it deals with the mystery of our minds and shows how little we know and yet we try to explain it in so many different ways.
I especially like the first paragraph, but A) change thrown to throne, and B) I think that a more fitting word than Kingly might be Majestic, Kingly just seems to be an odd word and disturbs the rhythm of the poem.
To be honest I dont really understand the third paragraph; we try to see so hard, yet always fail and instead fall back on lying to ourselves to keep our minds content? The line "Do you sleep or wake?" is that akin to "Do you thirst for knowledge or sit stagnant, accepting that which comes and turning a blind eye to all else? All in all a pretty good poem.
