Sun Ra - Column for 10/22

'Pose



I was won
	der
		ing

What's it all
		About?

Is there a reason
	for
		Me

That I can't figure		Out?



Why must I always Ask

The same old Question
		Why?

There must be a	Purpose

A Reason days go		by



But I just don't		Know

And I feel that I		Should

Like the	Instructions came

But were	Mis-Understood

	How can I

Not Know

	The Reason

		Why?



What's my purpose
		Here?

Is it just	to feel
		Good?

But pleasure's not
	the
		End-All

I can tell there's	more	I
		Should



They say I'm not		the first

And this I do	Believe

But nowhere in
		the Ages

Is the Answer
	Clear
		to me



But why is it		Hard?

Why Can I not		Know?

What is the motive for

	This Earthly show

	How can I

Not Know

	The Reason

		Why?



Is life a vale of		Tears?

Then why do	I feel	good?

And if there's
	a Higher
		Purpose

Why is it not
	Understood?



I just need to know		Why

Is it something to do	with	you?

Is it also the folks
	down
		our street

And the rest of
	the world
		too?



We can't be just		Luck

It isn't just		Chance

A mere	Coincidence

In the Great Expanse

	Why can I

Not Know

	The Reason

		Why?



Do they	ever	Tell?

Maybe	when	you Die?

Then you learn
	what you did
		wrong

And the things
	that you did
		Right



Imagine	if I	Knew

How easy	life	would Be

I'd never have to
	worry

It would all be clear
	to
		Me



But I still don't		Know

And I feel that I		Should

Like the	Instructions came

But were	Mis-Understood

	I guess I'll

Keep On

	Just Getting


		By.
