I wonder.......

I wonder
whether the means matter
more than the ends

As a kid

Trying to touch the flame,
As hawkish mom screams

Wallowing in the mud,
knowing that'd anger mom

Does curiosity thrills?
than the actual acts?

I wonder
whether the means matter
more than the ends

Growing up

Peeking at the lizards
copulating on the wall
despite dad's diversions

Smuggling things in class
under the teacher's nose

Is breaking the rules
satiates more than actual acts?

I wonder
whether the means matter
more than the ends

Adolescence

Trying out a smoke
that'll raise a storm at home

Fixated on the gender opposite
swept under the carpet at home

Are you proving to the world
the unspoken can be done?

I wonder
whether the means matter
more than the ends

Work

Taking breaks at work
when boss is not around

bloggin' from office
knowing you could be caught

Getting back at people?
Who own your un-slept hours.

I wonder
whether the means matter
more than the ends

I wonder.........
