Poem
I ask a question, who knows? A question about what the future holds. A question about the very face of life- it wears a mask, why? I don't know. May I ask this question? Will you know? Will your neighbor know? Will your dog know? Or your cat? I wonder if you've thought about it...It's why I ask. What's the Meaning of Life? I have another question, any takers? a show of hands if someone knows, I wonder to which direction this will flow- to the gulf of Mexico? Perchance a river, something short. Whichever direction, I am there Waiting for an answer. So are you ready for the question? You think you have a clue? You think you have the evidence? Why not show some proof. Why do we destroy that which we need? Think you've had enough persay? You can go, Oh wait no- you have to stay. I've got another question, don't you faint, do you know the answer? Taking out your pad and paper? Scribbling something down. Hoping I won't see what you wrote, you burn it to the ground. I'm still asking... Why are we born just to suffer? Had enough? Your brain's exploded, leaving stretch marks everywhere? I've not yet heard it spoken, the answer I so wish to hear. can't you take a simple question without smoke spilling from your ears?? I just have a little question, someone tell me if you know-Or submit it in writing. If everything you knew was a lie, How could you tell truth from lies? Are you at your end already? Smoldering on the ground- Squirming. Waving your white flag and pleading. On your knees and begging, your face turning blue, well it's already almost over so Pull yourself back together, I only have on more thing to ask. I hope you'll solve the problem. I put my faith in you. If your whole life, everyone told you what to believe, what to do, what to say and what to think, are you really you? Or what they told you to be?
