Vexation With Doubt Catechism ? ? ?


                          I wonder why it is
              that we sit and question all day
all the simple,                              sybaritic spectacles 
men act                                              to live their
 sojourns                                                    rather than  
                                                                begetting 
                                                             our opulent oasis
                                                        views and
                                                ways to earn
                                          from dawn
                                      to dusk
                                      it isn't ours 
                                      to utter 
                                      to unveil
                                      why you
                                      should
                                          or
                                    shouldn't
                                        linger
                                          so


                                    I'll simply   
                                stay side by side
                                  silent, serene
                                    no queries
                                      sought
