Why do questions on tests worry us
but more fundamental ones do not ?
Have you ever pondered on them
or you just can’t spare a thought ?
Why is it that 2 hours on a screen
is better motivation than our dearest dream ?
Why is it that we aspire to be creative artists
and yet risks are nowhere on our lists ?
Why does the determination in our overnight thoughts
vanish the following morning ?
Why does habitual procrastination not
blare as a deadly warning ?
Why is pessimism the common denominator
in the fractions that make up life ?
Why can’t Happiness be the butter
and Hope be the knife.
