Apply Your Wit Poem by Sachidananda Panda

People have tendencies to ask questions
When answers are well within self
That could be their madness
It's better to hide behind questions
A fine tactic to wink and escape
It becomes worst if the subject is Contentious
People prefer to build walls around
Paint with different colours red, green or sapphire
Make the glass walls look dark or obscure
Prefer to stay in the lone confinement
Like a bird in Porridge, wings clipped
Wilfully deaf and blind or of a kind
Live like caged animal sans a will

To tweet, or tell they need a magic spell
Stony silence often blunted by Self talk
World is limited to their fostered cells
Mused by Gregorian music to suit the mood
Like Emotionless predators with spiky look
Lame and paralysed Empathy with spiny soul
Blinded by amour propre or propriety
Still are very cunning in cross-examination
Eager to circumvent with dubious question
Plasticized faces spew venom in smile
Calculated moves carry a devilish design
Make their moves never on an even plan
Perhaps they stay content in asking question

The sky is Blue, the river flows
The ocean is deep and the wind blows
These things too never escape their doubt
They, too, ask why from a seed there is a sprout?
The questions are fine if from a child
At a later stage it sounds peculiar and wild
Articulate clear sans such wilderness
Funny or fair limpid or translucent
Explore the inner self ignite a bit
To get the answer just apply your wit
No answer can satiate ever
If you don't do yourself a favour
To find the answer ask your prudence
Shall get the answer by your noble sense
Follow the dictum follow the ukase suit
Before you ask questions any...
Time and again first apply your wit
