Questions for You

Questions for You: Heather Logan

Papa,
I have a few questions for you.
Do you have a moment?
Yes? Thank you.

If we all die in the end we all die,
Why is suicide so frowned upon?
If in the end everything is blackness,
Why are people afraid of death?

If people aren't in charge of their life,
Why do they take the lives of others?
If a person says their over the past,
Why do they continue to cry?

If someone is classified as only beautiful inside,
Why do people only look on the outside?
If fear is just an obstacle in life,
Why do people hold onto it?

If diseases are wrong,
Why do people hold on to them?
If some friendships turn bad,
Why do they begin?

If a man decides to cheat,
Why does he proclaim his love to someone else prior?
If a woman feels insecure,
Why does she continue to watch the media?

If some people have big things for their lives,
Why do they throw everything away?
If some people have a certain calling,
Why do they change and go the other way?

I don't understand,
I'm so confused.
Give me an answer,
Please, that's all I need.

If we all die in the end we all die,

didn't really make a whole lot of sense to me...great job!

[ShortyBabe]

This piece reminds me of the innocence and wonder of childhood. Sometimes, children have the most profound questions and adults have the dumbest answers. Wonderful write, I enjoyed this very much.

Hi Shorty babe, differcult to critique you are asking a lot of questions, though no answers maybe it would make the free verse better if every other stanza the recipient gave an opinion, just my thoughts.
keep writing Richie.

you know...those are really good questions...

[T.J. Barber]

These questions stir me greatly. They address almost every important issue in the world today. This is a fantastic piece. Great Job!

[ShortyBabe]

Thank you, very much.
Yeah... I find that those questions are on my mind often. Maybe i'm just childish or something, but something doesnt seem right, a lot of those questions shouldnt necessarily have to be asked, they shouldnt be reality, anyway, just my opinion..

Thanks again
