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?
