Please don’t tell me 'what'

For I much prefer a 'why'

In understanding wherefore

Living under an uncertain sky

 

When dreaming up new answers

One does nothing else but try

Uncovering other ways to see

To not disparage or decry

 

Catching universal thoughts

Forever fluttering by

Like sitting on a spinning wheel

Wasting little on the wry
