I wonder how it came to be
This thing, and how it baffles me
The reason why I can`t pretend
I simply cannot comprehend
I scratch my head and pout my lips
Then place my hands upon my hips
Round and round the room I pace
With crumpled brow and puzzled face
From dawn through dusk it fills my head
Until it`s time to go to bed
Then lie awake `til break of day
This problem will not go away
Deep in thought my hair I twiddle
If only I could solve this riddle
Some resolution I must find
To pacify this troubled mind
Perplexed, bewildered and nonplussed
To find the answer, then I must
Dissect this thing which bothers me
The truth of it that I might see
That`s it I shout, but then again
The reason why I can`t explain
For as I analyse the clues
There is no answer to this ruse
Do not pretend. Play the game of life seriously, but do not let it bother you too much. Let go, let God take over and then your life will be light and happy. I love the way you write.

Life is filled with enigmas. Through some, we find our way. And others are a chronic pain. But that’s life. A deep poem here.
