                        Sometimes I ask the question "why?"
                        Yet the question, never answered.
                        In absence of an answer, the answer
                        Emerges yet another question of why?

                                            -- Linc

                        I wrote this one just contemplating the purpose of life. Not just my life but life in general. Its quick, short, and I liked it so I posted it. Thanks for taking the time to read even my crapy work

Hey Linc...
I have a question about your poem. Is the third line meant to be "In absence of an answer, the answer" or "In absence of an answer, the answer"?
This would change the meaning...
both ways though, it arouses a few questions. Or should I say, a few answers?

Yet another question...yet another answer. You may see it as you like for my poetry is to be read as the reader wishes to read it not as the poet ment it to be read. If that makes any sense. yet another question why are all questions responded with a question? DOMN these question....

Ooh this poem should carry a health warning, It is so deep I got lost for days contemplating the meaning of life. Great piece of work.

Why is certainly one of the most important questions one can ask. Good job on a thought provoking poem.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This is great... very short, and very good. It raised questions in my mind. Keep posting!
