Frequently asked questions of man whenever faced with the daily struggles of life.

Tired of all the twists and turns

 And all those bump and ‘u’ turns.

Why can’t we just travel life smoothly?

Why do we need to be hurt just to know we’re really human?

Why do we need to feel guilt just to know what we’re doing is wrong?

Why do we need to realize something after our actions, why not before?

Why do we travel a lot of crossroads just to prove to our self that we’re really a rational being, capable of thinking?

Why do we need to think when there’s a heart that dictates all our actions?

And why there’s a heart when there is a brain that governs all the systems in our body,

Thus, it has a right to mandate what we should feel and act?

Maybe there are definite answers to these queries

And maybe we’ll soon find out

But one thing for certain

We are alive therefore we should continue

To struggle,

To keep faith,

To live and be Human Beings…

    nice poem!i all have those questions on my mind..i guess that’s life as we know it..

    i keep asking myself the same questions too… we are sentient beings, after all. i guess that’s what sets us apart from other creatures–we actually “live” our lives as opposed to merely “surviving” it, as animals do. i hope that made sense. haha. lovely poem. great work! :)

    Great poem! It was very exceptional.. these are common questions that humans ask and can answer themselves.. somewhat of a paradox of life.. nevertheless we should deal with it.. :D two thumbs up!
