Why
Why is the world bleeding
Why are the children screaming
Why are the crows singing
Why are we no longer dreaming
Why are the nations tempers seething
Why are the rich feeding
while the poor are starving?
Why do we murder those we claim are heathen
Why is standing what you believe in treason
Why do the maggots keep eating
when the corpses are done decomposing?
Why do we say we are winning
when the reality is that we are losing?
Why am I asking these questions?
Why do I have to keep on asking?
I'll tell you why
It's because no one thinks that they're worth answering.
