All questions are important and deserve answers.

SOMEBODY ASKED A QUESTION WHY? They didn't know the answer They needed one They wanted one Maybe they deserved one -- Maybe not One question -- that's all. WHAT? What was the question? A request for clarification Not a lot to ask Could have been answered in about four monosyllabic sounds Maybe more -- possibly less. HOW? A simple question for direction Easy English Good grammar Easily decipherable Clear, exact, precise Requesting same in return. WHO ASKED IT? Nobody, Everyone A single entity Possibly a child The universe You, me Someone. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? A profound request -- an answer to life's struggles A simple "Where is it?" "Who is it?" Profound -- Maybe, Maybe not Or is it? WHAT WAS THE ANSWER? Does anyone care? Does it really matter? It wasn't answered anyway. Jeanne L. Drouillard

Frustrating, bordering on infuriating. Lead the reader on and then leave him gasping for breath at the end of this nonsensical endeavor. That is why I loved it.

It makes one think. I wonder how many times similiar thoughts have crossed all of our brains? Good piece! Sandi

Your writing says that which many people and possibly most of our teens have floating around in their heads, as they struggle to find their place in society...Very nice job.. I enjoyed the read.
