A poem concerning my desire to know where my loved ones are who are no longer with us.

Where are, where are they?

 

Where did they go, why can’t I see them

I want to see them

Do I believe the lies that I’m told

That I’m not supposed to know

Where are they, where did they go

If each ones existance is their own creation

Then what were they in my existance for

Why was I in their’s

Do we get points for understanding

Where are they, where did they go

Is it just that the more we learn

The fewer times we have to return

They want me to believe, some returned

How outlandish is that

Where are they, where did they go

But if that’s what they believe, then  isn’t it so

But why the torture, why the pain

What’s wrong with this world

Is there no hope

Where are they , where did they go

Like a child I ask the questions

And like human adults you say “I don’t know”

Because you don’t want to think about it

You just live in the dark

Where are they, where did they go

You don’t want to wonder

If you’ll be punished

In a false hell or heaven

You don’t want to admit that there’s more

Where are they , where did they go

You don’t want to have to confront

The fact that  this life is not all there is

Because you’re afraid, afraid of the unknown

But you are the unknown

Where are they, where did they go

No one really knows you

They just know the image you emit

You don’t know yourself, or the power within you

You’ll never understand

Where are they, where did they go?
