Q & A

the leaders didn't know,
but the people sure did,
and all you had to do was ask;
a bunch of self-absorbed,
self-involved
narcissists, the leaders believed
that they had all the answers,
and in Socratic tradition,
also believed that they had only
to ask the right questions,
and humanity would be saved.

but the people all knew
that some questions have no answers,
and that no one gets out of this life alive:
that humanity may not go on forever,
and that perhaps none of us
will survive.
