WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN WHY HOW
Poetry by Shawn Malzahn
WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW?
"16 questions for the quester"
Why is it so that things come to be?
What makes them grow then flow like the sea?
Why do we distinguish one from the other?
How do we know what we know I still wonder?
What is the purpose and meaning of life?
Why are there pairs such as husband and wife?
What is the essence of time that we speak?
When do we discover this source which we seek?
Why do we feel such pleasure and pain?
What makes it real if constructed by brain?
Why is the mind so hard to realize?
Where does the soul tend to go when one dies?
What are the laws that govern this earth?
Why is it so we don't know them since birth?
What is the Truth that dispels all our lies?
Who is the one who has come to be thus wise?
