Question Mark?

Consider:

When a tongue poses a question,
does it really want an answer?
Does that piece of punctuation
merely mask an accusation?
Is the presence of a question
meant to mourn perceived helplessness?
Is the mark really a remark
passively meant to salt a wound?
Does the query posed attempt to
maneuver to manipulate?

No.

The use of interrogative
Is meant to make a person think.

It ought to be life-giving,
allows consideration,
invites critique,
promotes curiosity;
encourages the mind to realize.
 
And while a question might
prick a conscience,
leave lips speechless,
or even offend a mindset,
it should always be
moralizing,
humanizing;
seeking to understand
or to promote an understanding.

It is these kinds of questions which
do much to avoid many ills…

Why do you question?
