When Will We Learn?

What do you do 

What do you say

How do you feel 

How do you pray?

What do you know

What do you see

When will you act

Will you be free?

What is your cause

What are you for

When is the time

After or before?

When will it start

When will it end 

Are there remarks

Are you my friend?

When will the fighting stop 

When will the hatred cease

When will the world unite 

When will we cure disease?

What does the future hold

What are the cards in play 

When will we finally learn

Lessons we repeat everyday…

1/0 = ?

How long is infinity?

Can we drive there?

The existentialist affinity

With nothing to share.

Is infinitesimal far?

I can’t count the miles

Surely, you can’t use your car

Journeying all the while.

Can ginormous be calculated?

My computer can’t compute

Its circuits get exasperated

As the endless is a brute.

Try as you may to divide by zero

You’ll never get the answer

If you could you’d be such a hero

But the larger numbers, hamper.

When will the end be reached? 

I doubt we will ever know

With the sands of time besieged

Ebbing endlessly, to and fro…

¡NO!

Originally Published 04/03/2024

Originally composed to a young girl on a bet for a kiss in 1992, when she pointed to a garbage bin that read “No fire no ashes” on the side of it as my subject of inspiration.

No heat no fire.

No wants no desire.

No pain no gain.

No clouds no rain.

No love no hate.

No destiny no fate.

No passions no sex.

No more emotional wrecks.

No music no beat.

No fire no heat.

No wanting no need.

No selfishness no greed.

No water no sea.

No you and no me.

No ins and no outs.

No whispers no shouts.

No future no past.

No first no last.

No sharing challenges or feats.

No posts and no tweets.

No sky and no moon.

No April, May, or June.

No warmth no sun.

Last line I’m done…
