Why

 Why does the earth go round?

Why is the sky blue instead of brown?

Why is it so, why is it yes or why is it no?

Some even ask; why is it that we want to know?

“Why am I here” asks the good seeker?

“Why does my garden not grow” thinks the garden keeper?

”Why can’t I have an ice cream,” ask the child to the parent?

“Why o why we ask” about the mundane and the magnificent?

Life seems to be one big questioning of why, from the cradle through life until the day we die.
