Questionable Poem by Alonzo Titus

Questionable



When a single clear drop of rain
falls upon the petal of a flower,
and enhances the cleanliness 
of rain cooled air,
does it increase our passion
for the beauty placed before us?
Or if a humming bird flashes by 
and is struck by a single photon of light,
will we be blest by his appearance 
or will we be denied the prism of his worth?

Can the first cry of a new born
be heard in heaven by the creator,
will the falling of a pine cone,
dropping to the earth alone,
create a sound,  
How many tears must be shed
before injustice is no longer tolerated,
where may we find the answers
so our conscious can rest.

Deep thought leads to concentration
about things we may never understand,
what difference to our life will it make?
No one can account for all they've missed,
many things escape us
as we travel across our lives,
have we not been paying attention
or have we misdirected our awareness?
