Have You Ever Wondered

A Poem by Jasnil Chand

Just some things to think about

Have you ever wondered why?
The trees pointed towards the sky
When a candle is blown out
Is the flame still somewhere about?

Daily people die
Have you ever wondered why?
The ocean seems to always be blue
But is this really true?

Have you ever wondered how humans came?
How did the first person get fame?
Who discovered the food we eat
Who processed the first wheat?

If we were created the same
For the differences who do we blame?
Have you ever wondered how things were named
How were the wild beasts tamed?

Some may indeed know why
Some may give up after a try
All I can do is sit and wonder
Was this meant to be or is this a blunder?
