The Answers Poem by CHARMAINE SIMPSON

Questions that have been given no answers -
The answers will never be shared -
Held within another who selfishly,
Makes the choice to never reveal -
What would bring resolution to uncertainties.

Why do some wish to be so cruel?
Why do they want to inflict suffering on another?
When they hold the key to release the pain of confusion.
This could then very simply end hurt and disillusion,
But would mean to surrender the power they hold.

The power is simply - the answers!
