Questions I’m Afraid To Answer! Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

When will the walking and stopping end?
When will sunrise and sunset end?
When will day and night end?
When will winter and summer end?
When will eating and excrete end?
When will working and laziness end?
When will worshipping end?
When will the dancing end?
When will laughing and crying end?
When will the shouting and whispering end?
When will the partying end?
When will playing end?
When will the games end?
When will competition end?
When will touring or sightseeing end?
When will waking up and sleeping end?
When will pleasure and pain end?
When will sickness and death end?
When will the earth stop revolving?
When will the wheel of life end?
Will anyone answer for me?
Sorry, I have no ear to listen!
