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!
