Agnostic

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPoemTags:, , , , , , ,

I don’t know the who, what, where, why
If any who created all
Whether that who remains involved
The relevance of the who in you and who am I 

I don’t know the who, what, where, why
What meaning life holds
Whether there is an ultimate goal  
If we just are

I don’t know the who, what, where, why
Where from came God or the Big Bang 
If there is a where after death
Where this world is heading (though I can guess)

I don’t know the who, what, where, why
Why we ponder these questions so
Are drawn to religions that claim to have answers
Why it matters

W3 Prompt #149: Wea’ve Written Weekly poet of the week, Val, prompts us to write a three to six stanza poem on the theme of “[y]our personal creed or your spirituality.” The poem must include a refrain.

  3. Jen this is a lovely exploration of the questions (some with answers hidden from us) that all who ever looked outside the self have asked. Your refrain is perfect and I love how each stanza tackles a different aspect of the refrain! Genius!! ❣❣❣
