The Retort

How can one see so much
and yet see nothing at all

When you’re beaten
and your back is against the wall

Why is it you feel lonely
when you are surrounded

Where there is family
and where there are homies

Who are you to feel alone
when you have so much to surround you

What is that you are doing
that gives you that empty feeling

What is it that you are doing
that makes you that way

the answer to these questions
can not be found in a book

the only way to find them
is to peek inside and take a look

How, When, Why, Where, Who, What,
these are the questions i give you

maybe next time
you can see the answers
