Everybody Answers to Somebody

Muslims will answer to Jesus
even though they won't hear his question.
And Christians will answer to Allah
but won't be given the question.

Your answer to the alarm clock is to get up
and begin a day of thousands of questions
none of which can be answered incorrectly if
you want to fall asleep again.

We're contestants on the Price of Life
where we take turns asking questions
and pretending to know the answer.
"I know, I just want to see if YOU do."

So what is the right question?
What question can we ask ourselves to get
IT?
What is the meaning of life?
Where do we go after we die?
Is there a soul?
Is this the way a human being should live?

My question is, if every bit of human strife and suffering can be attributed to
different ways of asking or answering a question, a question or answer we invented
and then adhered to with the fervor of a lioness protecting her young, my question is
what is the use of answering questions at all. Is it not enough just to ask them and daydream
of the millions of possible answers which we can never know? Wouldn't you like that better
than answering to all of these someones and somebodies you hardly know who pretend to know the answers?

I would.
