Answers Are Not The Answer? Poem by David Taylor

We are all looking for the answers
but is it questions that we need?
Answers are a most common breed
you can find as many as you want
in books and magazines
upon the lips of friends and family
even strangers in the park
but where do you find the questions
that the most important things do ask?
In fact it would seem
we keep them locked away,
just in case they might be answered
and make us change our ways?
When faced with a real question
we may have a ready answer
such as that question has no answer
or is best left for another day
or I know the answer
I read it in a book just yesterday!
But where is found the real answer
to a question that we may
set free from its prison of what we know
and ask ourselves today?
