The Unanswerables

Life is made of the unanswerables

Because they are everywhere

Because everything we know has a root cause

And every root cause has another

Until there is no cause,

There just is

"Why do we exist?"

"Why is everything the way it is?"

Scientists have theories, and so do religions, 

But there is only one truth in the sea of whys,

Because sometimes things just are

And the only right answer is what you believe

Because humans don't do well with the unanswerables

So we pray to gods and teach our own truths

Because sometimes the root cause must be what feels right to you

  • To Be a Poet

    To be a poet is not to write poems

    No,

    Most anyone can do that

    Most anyone has done that

    For school, 

    Maybe

    To be a poet is to see a tree

    And not just see a tree

  • stop. drop. roll.

    stop.

    stop running.

    stop worrying.

    stop everything.

    drop. 

    drop to the ground.

    drop your possessions.

    drop everything.

    roll.

    roll anyway from the fire.

    roll away from your fears.
