Blunt Questions! Poem by Eric Cockrell

</>
does a falling star
know that it's falling?
does the green leaf know
that autumn comes?

does the unborn child
know his mother's face?
does the murderer know
his victim is himself?

does the cloud know
that the rain is needed?
does the day know
it was born at night?

does the peacemaker know
that the bullets are his?
does the liar know
that the truth has won?

does the lover know
tis only a moment?
does the moment know
that it holds eternity?

and do the hungry, sick,
and the homeless know.....
do they really know
that they are human?
