a thought provoking piece about how the world is so unfair and contradictory |
Why are we born, if we'll someday die Why do we multiply, then commit senseless homicides Why are we at war, can't anyone get along Why do we get persecuted, for things that are not wrong Why do we work forever, but are unable to take our possession's into the forever Why do we cry, laugh and smile, if only to hide the pain living inside Why do we love, when in the end no one will ever matter Why do we fear things we cannot control Why are we afraid of someday growing older Why do we go to church every Sunday, then breaks God's laws six days a week Why do we get in trouble for things cops get awarded for Isn't the Lord the one greater than a man, or does the world worship a myth Why do we condemn others, for crimes we ourselves have committed Why is sexual pleasure so great, if anyone could infect us with AIDS Why do we not believe the things we see all the time But believe in things we have never seen alive Why do we live in poverty, amidst the richest nation of all Where we are taught to respect all, yet fear our own law Why do we have to pay for the right to stay alive "Sorry ma'am, you don't have enough money, you're gonna have to die!!" Why do we go hungry, when so much food is thrown out to waste Why are the world's problems more important, than the problems we face at home Why cannot be answered, and yet...we still insist on asking WHY???? |
