#9 of Poetry

A poem about critical thinking in regards to the why of life, and all its contradictions.

_The Question Why_

Love has no love   
Death has no end   
Life is not living   
Honesty isn't truth  
Justice is unfair   
Nature is civilized   
Organized into chaos   
Sanity drives the insane

Body fueled by mind   
To befriend an enemy   
Pay the cost for freedom   
Kindness is its own cruelty  
Sight is blind   
Believing in doubt   
Safety in paranoia   
Darkness among the light

Dream of nightmares   
Fall into moonrise   
Rise with the sunset   
Mysteriously clear

Reveal the unveiled   
Confine the well-known   
But let the ever-present   
Question be; Let it remain   
As Why?
