Why? ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

These questions cannot stop coming!
Why? !
Do we know so much?
Yet ignorant of so more
Why? !
Do we believe in God so much?
Yet stray away from Him so more
Why? !
Do we keep getting answers, so much?
Yet questions are still so more
Why? !
Do we show kindness, so much?
Yet, our wickedness is still so more
Why? !
Do we say words so much?
Yet, meanings, lack so more
Why? !
Do we see so much?
Yet we are still short of vision, so more
Why? !
Do we hear so much?
Yet we are still short of hearing, so more
Why? !
Do we smell so much?
Yet we are still short of perception, so more
Why? !
Do we feel so much?
Yet we are still short of touches, so more
Why? ! Why? ! ! Why? ! ! !
