Wonder

I wonder;
 why we waste time, we have so little at all,
   I wonder;
 if there really is a crystal ball.
 
    I wonder; 
about things brewing beneath will it erupt?
    I wonder;
 what becomes of the underdeveloped?

    I wonder
 how much of life is motivated by inequalities of power,
     I wonder;
 if there really is an ivory tower.

    I wonder;
 why emotional pain you feel physical,
    I wonder;
 why love has to be so cynical.

     I wonder;
 what a miracle really looks like.
     I wonder;
 why they call us a dyke.

    I wonder;
 if I will ever grow up,
    I wonder;
 if I will drink from the golden cup.

    I wonder;
 what makes a person hate,
    I wonder;
 why you would tempt the hand of fate.

    I wonder;
 why I'm angry my whole life,
    I wonder;
 why I miss my wife.

    I wonder;
 why love makes it hard to breathe,
    I wonder;
 if my opponent has something up his sleeve.

    I wonder;
 if I'm living or slowly dying,
    I wonder;
 why people give up without even trying.
