BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

I wasn’t there, so off the record,
could you tell me what really happened in there ...
why you made the decision you made ...
why you ended up doing what you did?

Isn’t that the question?
Isn't that the most important question?
Isn't that the question we’re all asking
presidents, politicians, local leaders,
popes, bishops, pastors, priests,
leaders, parents, heads of corporations,
and all those other people
who make decisions behind closed doors,
who make decisions that effect our lives,
who make decisions about us without us?
