Why?

by Alex D   Jan 7, 2005


*i wrote this after hearing that rap song why by i don't know i dint listen to rap but i thought he had a good point so this is a continuation of it*

why do people think sinners are unclean?
and why are the most beautiful things unseen?
why aren't all races and religions treated the same?
why haven't we heard all the people with incredible talents names?

why do the smoking companies make products that kill?
why do the average man have to pay the above average bills?
why do women get the upper hand when it comes to divorce?
why is there so much racism in the supreme courts?

why does love cause people so much pain?
why do missionaries preach when there's no gain?
why do u have to be rich or smart to get respect?
why does every crime have to have a cause and effect?

why do people give and give to their friends and not expect anything in return?
why does the government force us to stay in school and learn?
why are the SAT's made for Asian girls who don't watch TV?
why doesn't life let itself go by easy?

why does president bush go through so much shit for W.O.T?
and why do they say he'll be the reason for world war 3?
why do fathers beat there kids beyond repair?
why on 9/11 was the government not prepared?

why are there kids with babies at the age of 14?
why doesn't any1 trust this generation of teens?
why do lawyers for profession gotta lie?
why are most people afraid to ask why?

these are some questions that have been on my mind;
floating through my consciousness all the time;
don't forget and don't regret asking why;
just don't let the peoples voice die;

    I like this poem quite a bit. You ask some very interesting questions in it, many of which can be answered easily, but must be brought up. However, next time you post a poem, please don't spell you=u or anyone=any1. I generally don't read poems with that in them, but today I made an exception. I just feel they don't belong in poetry.
    However, on the whole, it was a good poem.
