Questions?

Questions?

How can we question beauty,

Having seen a baby smile?

How can we question courage,

Having heard of a wounded soldier,

Strong and agile?

How can we question hope,

Knowing its what inspires the young boy with cancer, 

to live?

How can we question, unconditional love,

Being blessed with parents,

Who never take, 

But always give?

How can we question faith,

When it makes the old lonely woman,

Feel safe at night ?

How can we question conscience,

Having known men,

Who've done deeds, against their wish,

Just because, they were right?

How can we question sun,

Standing out there,

In the broad daylight?

Nice, simple but strong. Sometimes, we blatantly refuse to acknowledge something standing right in front of us. Your poem also reminds readers that optimism pays. The world might not be perfect, but moments of perfection do remain. Thank you for your uplifting poem :)

Enjoyed reading this poem, especially the way you stick to the form and express noble emotions in fine, direct, language.

You've brought up some very good thoughts for the reader to ponder over and each one to me makes sense. From the first to the last I found it all very intriguing and well thought out. Very good writing.
