The Unanswerable

"The Unanswerable"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Excuse me, but do you have the time
How can I verify the truth of your mind
Where did it all begin
How long does it take to become a friend
Why do I have no control of my dreams
Why do some act like only they can blow off steam
How long is pain there before we understand it hurts
How many tests does it take before we realize it works
What level must emotion reach before the first tear drops
Who among us has the knowledge of when Love starts and when it stops
How much opinion was in the very first fact
If you were really me, just how different could you truly act
Which is stronger, a day or a week
If we are all human, can any really be unique
How much of a push is considered to be a shove
And how much fool does it take to blind one from Love

Just food for thought.....

'...how much of a push is considered to be a shove?' clever questions! A very enjoyable piece... humorous and serious at the same time. Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith

Most of the time when you do get an answer, it' the wrong answer. Pretty deep!
