Dear Farah,
 
Life is such as it is--
a convex mirror to one's fantasy.
It has its mirth and bliss;
just look, see 
the butterfly flit fancy free.
 
If dreams are desires 
and b equals a,
perforce, good friend, laws of life
demand that a equals b
and desires are dreams
squarely rooted in reality.
And yet! the old question was more than one;
I count four interrogatories
when there are really three.
one suspects syntax is to blame
and poetic licence is rarely free.
 
Now, dare I suggest the following partial re-write?:
 
An Old Question (or Two or Three)
 
Why is life what it is?Why not what I want it to be,full of joy, blithe,blissful and carefree?Why are dreams desiresAnd desires dreams?
So I trust, dear poet, you'll forgive and indulge my vanity,
 
Truly,
 
Mani Suri
