Is this our lot?

Philosophers ask questions that no one can answer;
Fools ask questions that no one can ask;
Wizards answer questions that no one can ask;
Dogmas give answers that no one can question;
Salesmen give answers that no one asks for;
Fortune tellers give answers that no one can answer;
Police officers question that no one can answer;
Prisoners question that no one can question;
Priests question that no one has questions;
Judges answer that no one can have questions;
Journalists answer that no one has the answer;
Politicians answer that no one but they have the answer;
Bureaucrats ask money and answer to no one;
And I have the answer and no one listens.
