You say I must write a poem, <br />But the question is does the poem write me? ” <br />You ask me to give a hand, <br />But the question is does the hand give me? <br />People ask me to pray to god <br />But the question is does god pray to me? <br />Philosophers tell me to keep an open mind, <br />But the question is does the mind keep open for me? <br />My mother says to only speak the truth, <br />But the question is does the truth speak to me? <br />The teachers say to always follow the rules, <br />But the question is do the rules follow me, <br />My true love says I must listen to my heart, <br />But the question is does my heart listen to me, <br />The mathematician says to find the right answer, <br />But the question is does the answer find me? <br />I say I love you, <br />But the question is do you love me? <br />Everyone says this poem makes no sense, <br />But the question is does the sense make this poem? <br /> <br /> -Gilbert Vargas<br /><br />San Antonio Can!
