Wonders Never Cease Poem by Bushra Shahid

The days go by,
And I wonder,
What is my attitude towards life?
Towards friends?
Towards family?
Towards my life?

The weeks go by,
And I wonder,
When will this end?
When will the wars cease?
When will peace be brought?
When will we all live in harmony?

The months go by,
And I wonder,
How the seasons change?
How it turns from sunny
To numbness,
From bareness to coolness.

The years go by,
And I wonder,
How did this world create itself?
How did the soil,
And water form?
How did man come to being?

The centuries go by,
And I wonder,
Are we really destroying our Earth?
Are we really causing disasters?
Are we really planning our own death?
Are we really the cause of deaths?

The millenniums go by,
And I wonder,
Are we honestly that bad?
That horrible?
That merciless?
I sit and wonder.
