The Boy Who Asked Questions

Born an average human child

Nothing out of the graph

The complex network of a human brain

Represented by a silly laugh

Time flew by, as I grew up

The average human tendency started warming my brain gears

Wanted to see everything, wanted to perceive everything

First came curiosity then courage then fears

The battle arena was set

Intense was the session

Up against the adults and elders with their mightiest of wisdoms

I am just a little boy who asked a question

What is this? Why is this?

What is its function?

Why do the clouds move but the stars remain still?

I am just a little boy who asked a question

I started going to school

Uniform, black shoes, a bag pack, everything in fashion

First came fear, then confusion, then boredom

I am just a little boy, afraid to ask a question

Kid to a teen

Now higher are the stakes

Pencils are replaced by inerasable pens

I was expected to make no mistakes

The battle arena was set again

Angry teachers with their homework banners

Fuelled by their frustration and workload

While I am still a little boy, now with mugged up answers

Teen to an adult

A confusing transition

Now Google gives me all the answers, but also suggests questions

I wish I was a still a little boy who asked a question
