Pose A Question

You know,
I'm rather curious
As to
Just why.

There is no greater word
In the English language
Than why,
Save for perhaps
'apples' or
'goodbye.'

And why doesn't bring
All the answers
Nor does it bring the how,
But why can't I fight off
The monsters
When they're all
in my head?

Whether you believe in
Any means to an end
The question is why-
Why must we start this
All up again?

Quarrels, I fear
Have all been used up-
So why do we do this?
Why do I ask?
Why do you think
I can answer
When I ask myself why?

The question remains
It always does
And like a child's response
Why can stretch
on to forever.
Why don't you
Ask a little question
And find out why they
Are doing what they do?

Curiosity and why
Are the very closest
Of friends.
