The Question of Why

Tossed about through the turbulence of life, Confusion remains to search for a seed. As if the eye of the hurricane seeks direction, Only to find no compass for its need. Does this curious resolve weaken & wobble, Or grow stronger through the effort & quest ? While every response creates another, And chaos may contribute to severely test. The desire that looks to an unknown horizon, May often see emptiness to follow despair. Yet choice must pierce through this fog & veil, With enough light that can guide to remain fair. This journey is seldom without consequence, As obstacles become present and abound. So whether hurdled, avoided, or plowed through . . . Overcoming them must be found. While the question remains fundamental, There are billions of answers to be observed. With each one's unique testament, Tracing a morality rarely hidden or reserved. Ultimately, this inquiry is survived upon, By those to judge while reflecting their own view. Just as current events & history tend to remind us . . . Not everything seen or heard is always true.
