QuestionsA Poem by Cylis Derrens
Questions
Why is it that someone is judged
by their sex
Why are people judged
by their skin
When did the exterior become
more than the interior
When did a man or woman become
just an image?
Questions
Questions
Rattling through my mind
What are supposed to do in this life
How do we spend our time
When is it good to be selfish
When is it not
How does one be selfless, even
when everyone else is not?
What are healthy relationships
What is love
Is it to difficult to fully understand
Is it supposed to be hard?
Do we make things too difficult
Where did we go wrong
What could we have been if the
snake had not meant us harm?
What if they hadn’t eaten the
apple
What if they avoided the tree
Would my parent still have made
Me
Would I even be me?
What makes a good man
What makes an evil one
Are all of us gray
Is anyone better than anyone?
Why is there so much war
Why all the violence
Is it something deep inside
Is it a part of our nature that
defines us?
How does one become the
peacemaker
How does one turn the
other cheek
If a man strikes one do I
really have to offer him
the other?
So many questions
When does it end
Will I learn them in heaven
Will I then be able to comprehend
this majesty people describe
in the holy books?
Too many questions
Too many lies
How does one find the truth
Is it beyond the ability of these eyes?
So often I look for answers
Even asking my God who I love
What is my purpose here
Where do I look?
What path should I choose
Where do they all end
Do I try each one and follow them
around the bend?
What kind of man will I be
Will I be well remembered
Will I finish the race, having
done my part?
What are the answers to my
Questions
Will I ever know
Will a selfish fool when I stand
before your throne?
If faith is by action and I always
fall short, then will my sins count
against me
Do good intentions still count?
I have so many questions none
I believe more important than
these: how do my feel about me Lord
