Open Ends....

do you live life
according to your nature?

that a pig must be a pig
destined as pork?

in the same manner
that flowers must always be
only for display?

do you think
nothing but only your happiness?

do you not see how others
are?

tell them how life must be lived
and spent so well?

tell me
shall the dove coo forever
the lion lesser without its roar?

have you ever asked these
questions?

do you like some answers?

will you ask me
about tomorrow because today
is lived
lesser than what
yesterday should
have been?

do you still like me
to ask
you all about these
basic
which had long been
disregarded
because
life must never be
a question
but
a declaration?
