Why Should I Dare To Ask Poem by John Sensele

Why should I dare my flask to ask
If I should apply or cry for a task?
Life rides on the side of initiative
Pressed from deep within my relative prerogative.

Why should I care to wear
Translucent thoughts, plans and bear
Excess baggage in a global village wattage
That writes off bites and kites of pillage and pilferage.

Why should I give peskiness and pettiness room?
Brooms and grooms guaranteed to gloom
Tremble and resemble wastage when a sage
Mingles and dangles at a puny page on a sad stage.

Why should I strain my brain
With wages and pledges too small to rain
To cauterize, to analyse, to synthesize sorrow today or tomorrow
When reason refuses vanity and inanity to borrow.
