Earth
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If this be so, then was such stitched with pleasured threads into the back of thyne eye
To form a divine utopian perfection.
Was creation just a blip in one’s imagination
Or was it the key to truly seeing one’s observations.
They say life’s too short.
But can we even measure an expanse lacking in finite design.
Pondering length, width and height
Has no benefit to battered hearts and shattered tear drops.
The mending is a slow, enlightening process.
They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link
If this be so then why is civilisation crucified by its own tears
Its own fractured fretwork on frosted glass
Is the only comforter to soothe the vile bleeding
Of the ‘better off’ onto the lesser...
They say a picture paints a thousand words
Illustrates a thousand feelings and 1001 thoughts
Reflects the truth from a twinkle in a cavorting eye
Of a true painter’s hand
And a false artist’s heart.
They say carpe diem
Seize the day and relish its forbidden fruits no matter how bitter they may be.
Gaze up at an open belly of lights on black nights
Comb beaches for the fallen that the sea breathed life into
Soar through misty sleepless thoughts and descend on fears of your subconscious
Feed on your own filthy ignorance because no one else wishes to savour it
Have passion artistic and erotic occurrences
Never doubt your own opinion’s voice
Always count your chickens before they hatch
But just remember
Life’s too short
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link
A picture paints a thousand words
And a home isn’t always encompassed in a house.

You ask questions of so many types here. Some are about the world, other are interpersonal, and even a few which I don't understand. Wasn't until the end that I realized you didn't even put in question marks!

well it may appear as though i'm asking questions because all the right features are there (minus the question marks of course) so how would you read that poem if i said that they could be perceived as and maybe even intended as statements?
...and i'm glad my work made you have a think :)

Subjectivity---statements by some can present questions to others, especially when it comes to topics like the origin of the universe.

and sometimes "questions" present statements that were overshadowed by the presence of a question mark...the origins of the universe are just one big ball of thoughts that become categorised by the way in which we use words and punctuation...
