A Poem Of My Own Inquiry Poem by Louie Levy

* Readers; I've just made an exciting discovery, all because I looked further into the magic of my computer screen. Who would know, being of such limited acquaintance to this evolutionary conTRAPshun. Oh yes, how it can addict to a point of becoming, back sick, sore and near cataract blind. And; yet we learn to hunt, peck and tickle the keys, stimulating some weird electronic nerve endings at our brains command. All this, being a prelude to my creating my next literary contribution adding to the legacy of what I never would have dreamed to being;

A POEM OF MY OWN INQUIRY

who are you? just as you see me -
what are you called- many by many things
and by your own thing- 'louie'
why louie- how else than for Louis
why are you here- why am I not
where have you been- nowhere I can prove
why's that- what proves anything
that we're all of human- prove that
where have you been-where I can remember
what have you seen- all that I've been
where are you going- nowhere out of a circle
why's that- around and not ending
what are your goals- non to win
why- losers win for themselves
how's that- how's it different
how old are you- how new are you
when were you born- is when I was built
what year- pick one and you'll be wrong
why the secret- why need you know
are we not all of an age- not of the calendar
then what- that's the mystery that's no secret
what do you wish for- are you a Genie
must I be- yes if wishes are to be counted
then you have none- none other than for 'Love'
why is that- Love is my Genie
what's Love- what is it not when it is
are you in Love- never been out of it
with whom- with itself
can it be with another- yes when shared
can Love be abused- never
please explain-Love is pure, without it is, abuse
where is Peace to be found- where Love resides
where is that- where hate is forbidden
why are there wars- when we are without Empathy
and only that- calling God 'Love' would help
please explain- few would war Loves validity
should you find heaven, what would you say to 'Love'

Heaven had been all ready found here on Earth.
Hell is what it will become if we are not to wish
for others. We are the 'Genies' able to grant for
one another that which we pray for ourselves
is that all there is to life-a thought to ponder-

'Within or Without, the answers
are within us, Without Confusion.'
