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…
