Sometimes,
we frame
questions
for
answers we already know.
Sometimes,
we
have all answers
for
questions we don't know.
Sometimes,
we
draw a blank
for
questions & answers we know.
At
all times,
we
are always in the know.
But,
we wait for a calling
for
rest of the world to know.

This poem is inspired by a facebook post by a good friend in which he had shared his concern with state of the world amidst COVID 19 Lockdown. The post ended with "More n more questions.....??!! Looks like its better these questions go unanswered forever..."
I started responding to his post and ended up writing this poem!
The beautiful lady in the picture is my wife who was enjoying the summer rains from our balcony, lost in her thoughts. It made a perfect illustration for this poem!
