rhetorical question

rhetorical question.
question begged to be asked.
thrown out there
into the thin air.

asked by the asker
"How?", "When?", "Where?".
answered by the asker
'cause there's no answer there.

"Who?" or "Why?"
the asker asks with a sigh.
any answer he comes by
could only be a lie.

so why ask a question
when there's no answer there?
guess that's rhetorical.
the answer will take ya' no where.

but, askin' the question
leaves ya' no worse for the wear.
