Stephen Buoro - A Daily Quiz

(For Alfred David)
Why is Evil
always burdened with luck,
always blessed with
the sceptre of days?

Why is it not seldom a Sisyphean
for me to be
the shadow of an atom
of goodness,
but simply to succomb to the seduction
of living diabolic?

Why is Sacrifice
the prodigal
of laughters at dusk?

Why do I keep falling
into the arms of abyss
just after every remorseful resurrection
worn and wizened by the wizard
of yesterday?

Why is Tomorrow
cursed to the fate of a mirage?

How can I harness the honeyed offsprings of Why
to make me soar?

Why...
the buxom bosoms
of a million Guineveres
can never equal
a billionth of yours...
