There are so many things in life <br />That I wish to know about right now <br />For instance, why is there so much strife <br />Instead of worldly happiness, why is there only sorrow? <br /> <br />Why can’t a mother give her child enough food? <br />Whom has she ever wronged in life? <br />Why can’t world leaders, shielded by diplomacy’s hood <br />Prevent them from being decapitated by hunger’s knife? <br /> <br />Why do celebrities suffer from multiple-personality disorder? <br />They behave in a way towards one, differently towards another <br />To the tabloids, their messy lives keep providing fodder <br />Yet they keep on acting, as if they couldn’t bother <br /> <br />Why do crimes, rebellions and terrorist activities flourish, <br />And steal from the world its peaceful, much-needed sleep? <br />Why do power-mongers yield to them, rear and nourish <br />Their outrageous fancies, and make us weep? <br /> <br />Why do we marvel at outstanding art <br />But screw up our noses at everything dirty? <br />If we took some initiative and played a part <br />We could certainly turn them into objects of beauty <br /> <br />There are so many questions in this world <br />Which remain unanswered, due to lack of clarity <br />I fear these issues would keep getting unfurled <br />But would probably remain unsolved for eternity<br /><br />RONY PATRA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unanswered-questions-11/
