Questions Poems

Who’s Gonna Save Your Soul?

by Kevin Schroeder

In a smoky room, where the shadows play,
You’re searching for direction, lost along the way.
The devil grins, whispering sweet lies,
Promising glory wrapped in disguise.

Who's gonna save your soul tonight?
The preacher with his holy light?
The politician with his silver tongue?
Or the celebrity, forever young?
Is it the singer with a heart full of pain?

Will We Ever Know

by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Have you ever seen the ripples
As they dance across the pond...
Have you ever seen the fairy
As she waves her magic wand...

Have you ever seen the stars
Shoot across the sky at night...
Have you ever seen the baby
Open her eyes at morning light...

A High-jacked Mind

by Montaigne Foxcroft

Learning
Yearning
Tossing and Turning
What is the point of anything if this world will end up burning?
We turn serious matters into a joke
To some folk the air they breath
Is the thing on which they choke
The book of life, so to speak, specifies not to be "unequally yoked"
Does not this same book read that love bears all things?
Where is the line, who's to say that we actually understand the construct of time

What I know

by Kombe Sakwe Kofi

I believe in slavery,
Christ could never enslave me,
Studied lies, truth came with bravery,
In the beginning was no Adam nor Eve,
Cowries or pearls Judas will trade me,
Embrace my fate, finish line is calvary,
29, I keeping asking myself questions.

Why do people, people?

by kyra turner

Why do people treat people the way they do?
Why do people ignore each other?
Why do people love who they love?
Why do people hate who they hate?
Why do people disown families?
Why do people drink?
Why do people do bad things?
Why do people get themselves into jail?
Why do people lie?
WHY DO PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY DO?

What if

by Mario Odekerken

What if the sky forgot to be blue
and the wind no longer knew
the names of the trees?
What if silence wasn't peace,
but a question waiting in the dark?

What if you had taken the other road,
the one that bent sharply left,
Into the fog you couldn't see through?
