What do we think?
Questions in Poetry
Wake up, Grab, wash, walk, talk, pass, tred or sleep again.
Most of us don’t even care as much as a thread strain.
Split, face, meet, waste!
Or turn and communicate!
Learn, gain, search, don’t let it be in vain!
Follow, think, achieve and feel, laugh, jump, or just miss the concept!
Why, am I even asking, right?
Is it scary or its just my fright?
Do I know, or I don’t, I grow or I won’t?
Do I say or I pray or I mourn to their tone?
Do I feel or steal?
or kneel to his deal?
Why, I ask are they all quite?
Is it a protest, revolt, revolution or riot?
Or discussion, or a bill, or a say?
or should I call it satyagraha?
What fun do I have I am 14!
Gun in my hand, I’m extremely keen
Find or strive or let it just go
Lets just forget it even when we know
Will we wait until we suffocate
Or blame fate when its too late
We act and react and overact
To the act that was shown by the fact
We play the role of the man in the play
Who just plays in the playground and thinks he wins
When we ignore the squint
Of our eyes that blink
Too fast to wink
Too quick to link
Forget that the minds stink
Just tell them its correct
Because that's what we think
And they ask if that’s the news in black ink
That doesn’t believe in its own instinct
Just say its correct because that's what we think!
