The Question?

Doest thou have an answer
To the question of which I speak
For the question is irrelevant 
It is the answer that I seek 

I have search for many hours
Days and weeks have passed me by
I only want the answer
The truth and not a lie

Don’t fill me up with double talk
Don’t send me round the bend
Don’t tell me they will help me
I am asking you here now my friend

I have traveled many miles
Across countries wide and far
To get a simple answer
Can it really be that hard?

Across mountains and there valleys
Through deserts and there dunes
For 30 years I have searched
Is my life a picayune?

People give me hope
They say the doctor that I seek
Can put an end to the pain
Is it true these words I speak?

The doctor is very famous
His work known far and wide
Is it because I have know money
The reason I am denied?
