"In the pursuit of virtue, don't be afraid to overtake your teacher."
"Young people should not be taken lightly. How do you know that they will not one day be better than you are now?"

--Confucius

"True poets are only the interpreters of the Gods."

Who, What, Where, When, How, Why?

Author's Note:
This is a poem I decided to write after seeing a billboard that said "Who are you? What do you want to be?"


Who can say what will happen
When you open your eyes tomorrow?
Who can know  what will come
When you close your mind sorrow?

When you trust others with your feelings
How exactly will they reply?
Why would you divulge your deepest thoughts
If they will just be denied?

What hour of the day will be the best
Hour of your entire life?
Who has the right to measure this
No honestly, who has that right?

Where will you learn to do so many things
Like tie your shoes or hop a fence?
How old will you be when you learn math
Such as equal, greater than, or less?

What gift have you been given in life
What gift will you have when you die?
Well start with these simple questions
Who, what, when, where, how, and why
