A Question (poem)
"A Question" is a poem by Robert Frost, first published in 1942 in A Witness Tree.
Text
A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.
Interpretations
While it is not long, many different interpretations exist for this poem.
Many think that this poem stands for one's reflection on their past life. The poem questions whether or not you valued your life over death or, worse, never having been born. Did you in fact see life for all of its beauty or do you view your life as a waste? The poem asks you to analyze your life, to question whether every decision you made was for the greater good, and to learn and accept the decisions you have made in your life. One Answer to the Question would be simply to value the fact that you had the opportunity to live.
Another interpretation is that the poem gives a deep image of suffering. It portrays the fact that we live in suffering, and there is nothing we can do about it. Then the poem relays the question as to why we bear the unhappiness that is life, which makes readers think that Frost was heavily intrigued and curious about the "why."

A Question Of Faith
by: Gary NumanI'll crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
I'll be the thing that you feed.
I'm not asking
For love or redemption
I'll sell my guilt to your need.
I'll breathe for you
Die if you want to
I'll mourn with you by my grave.
I dare you to judge me
Now God has disowned me
I've come to you to be saved.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
I'll shine for you
Burn if you want to
You'll be the prize for my pain.
I'll kill your god
And pray for salvation
I'll be the in to your sane.
I'll lie for you
be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame.
I won't ask for
Faith or forgiveness
I'll be the blood in your veins.
They say I lost my way
I'll wait for judgement day.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
I'll be your darkness
In the light
I'll be your vampire calling
In the dead of night
I'll be your demon
Shadow man
I'll be your one confession
And if I can
I'll be your nightmare
And scream for you
I'll be your one possesion
If you want me to
I'll be your secret
Memory,
I'll be your exhibition
Of atrocity.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
They say I lost my way.
I'll wait for judgement day.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
They kneel down, praise God
Shout allelujah,
Lift up their eyes when they pray.
When children kill children
Don't it make them wonder?
Don't it make them question their faith?
