I Wonder
I wonder how birds communicate?
How they seem to know their flight path?
I wonder how they view us humans?
Are we seen as friend, foe, or insignificant?
I wonder why men thought the earth was flat?
That if you travelled far enough you’d fall off
I really wonder what existed before the earth?
Did time exist, were there seasons, colours?
I wonder why there are many wars?
Why they go back thousands of years?
I wonder why so much hatred continues?
As one conflict ends another one starts
I wonder how through sheer persistence,
people cope with war within their own cities?
I wonder, is it the need to survive that drives
them to carry on?
I wonder if they ever forgive their enemy?
I wonder if couples ever stop to think about the future? Who will survive who? Will one be left alone? I wonder how they will cope with that?
I wonder if they will handle it better than me?
I wonder?
Oh I do wonder?
I wonder what it’s all about?
Oh I do so wonder?
