Quite rhetorical. How many ways to answer each and every one of those questions? How impossible is it to answer any of them? This poem intrigues me. I must give it thought, which, it seems to me, is what this poem is all about?

That was amazing. I love how you asked all the questions that we think about all the time... questioning the way that our culture today is, and how pointless some things are, while they go unnoticed. I really loved it.
