I have a lot of questions roaming through my head
Lurking in the background until I go to bed
No sleeping as I contemplate and speculate instead
Like what’s at the end of the universe? and why is God a man?
Why do pronouns matter? and what’s my lifetime span?
Why do people hate and kill? and what’s the bigger plan?
I have questions about racism and how that came to be
What is freedom? why discriminate? What is wrong with being me?
How come some folk are really smart but lack practicality?
What’s happening to the weather? What’s the best that we can do?
Is global warming irreversible? I get in quite a stew!
Why do we cross our fingers and sometimes touch wood too?
Why am I so fascinated in watching stories on true crime
When people see a mountain why do they feel the urge to climb?
What happens when we die? And why the phrase ‘I’m killing time’?
What makes some people vulnerable and others tough as nails
Why ignore the plight of children but fight to save the whales?
Why do we bully and harass and ignore the justice scales?
The questions remorselessly pounding in my poor deluded brain
I have no clever answers, many more questions still remain
probing and surrounding, I may never sleep again
