The Man with the Hoe Poem Response

This poem was not as long as the previous poem, and I sorta see what is going on. I do notice a pattern of asking questions. Almost every line starts off with a starting question of 'how', 'is' or 'what.' I see this poem as both a bit of a depressing poem and a poem of many questions. Some parts in the poem, it is asking the Lord God these questions, and hoping for the right answer in return. Unlike the other poem, each line is not cut short and it is not separated into two lines, in this poem their is five paragraphs. How I see this poem, is a man that is questioning life and the purpose of it. Maybe the man is having a mid-life crisis. Or that his is very curious about everything in the world. I don't see this poem as a list poem, like some of the other poems I have read. This to me seems like another poem that is just talking and not trying to cut its words short and trying to make it rhyme.

I have to admit that I was not expecting another depressing like poem to read after the last poem. Also from reading the title of this poem, I was expecting a different type of poem. My first thought was that this poem was going to be about a man with a woman and maybe some conflict or message that it is telling to the readers, or something that was less depressing than what I just read. It may not be a depressing type poem, but that is what I got after reading this. Also that if this was that type of poem, then I can sorta relate to being that person that has so many questions about everything and waiting for an answer to appear. I wish there was more I can write about this poem, but I think I need another person to explain to me what is the meaning of this poem and if I am close with any of my guesses.
