well the title says it all but basiclly who can write the best poem from the word why (must contain the word) keep sending them in!!

the word is WHY?

yep the word is WHY?

WHY?

Why do innocent people die?
Why do wars continually rage?
Why are there children hungry
When food is still tossed away?

Why is bad the biggest seller?
Why do people commit crimes?
Why do we watch what we condemn
On the TV all of the time?

Why are there foul words used?
Why do we say hurtful things?
Why do we laugh at others expense
When only pain it brings?

Why is there so much divorce?
Why do people thrive on their hate?
Why do people commit adultery
But still want pure love from their mate?

I know why these things happen
Why the world is a horrible lie.
And I could share how to fix it
But you would just ask me "Why?"

Why did you leave me, don’t you care?
Why did you tell me you’d always be there?
Why aren’t you here then, I’m alone?
Why did you break up over the phone?

I didn’t leave you; we are friends.
I am still here until the world ends.
You’re not alone, I’ll always be there!
I couldn’t stand to watch your heart tear.

Why don’t you love me, what did I do?
Don’t you care that I still love you?
What will happen when you go away?
You’ll be gone…but here I’ll stay…

You didn’t do anything, it’s just not there,
I do love you, but as a sister, I do care!
When I leave, I’ll call and visit you,
When it’s over, we’ll live together just us two.

Why is life so unfair, I guess goodbye,
I won’t be sad, and I will not cry.
When will you take me from this place?
I will wait until you come back, face to face.

This isn’t goodbye, just a see you later,
Don’t cry, I’ll take you away from that hater.
I’ll come back and get you when you graduate,
Wait until then, let’s call it a “date”.

Yeah...this was something new from me. the questions are from me and the answers my ex-boyfriend, and we're going to live together as friends when he graduates college..yeah:)

Why

i hope this is fine

why do we do anything, apart from nothing at all
Why do we ever climb up, if we know that we will fall.
Why do we climb a mountain, if a goat is at the top.
why do we go on, even when someone tells us to stop.

Why do we not say enough, when being served our food.
why don't we say that i am full, instead we fulfill our mood.
Why get up and do something when later it can be done.
why do we keep on going, well after they say we've won.

Why do we question everything, why do we always say why?
Why do we answer anything, when in bed we could just lie.
Why should we ever tell the truth, lying works just as well.
Why is it ok to say heaven, but it is bad to shout out hell!?

I could tell you, oh yes i could, i could indeed explain.
but what good would it do at all, from it what would you gain.
And as i sit here with adults i give a great huge sigh.
For everything i say to do, they simply answer why.

Why
By Dhaval

I have often heard you ask
The reason for my pearly tears
Why in sadness must I bask
And why scars are such souvenirs
Draining droplets into my pillow
Sleepless nights, eyes all but dry
Broken I am, you perfectly know
But now you begin to ask me why
The hurt and pain that I endure
When careless words my heart does pry
A tainted heart, that once was pure
Aware you are, but you now ask why.

The answers lie not in my breath
Nor in blank words or fruitless sighs
Into mine eyes, now yours do set
And every question they shall reply
O then! The painful cause you’ll know
All sleeplessness shall make full sense
Into my heart your insight shall flow
And why my pillow does drip and drench
But if my eyes do not reveal the end
Bear witness, god! Now I must tell you
The cause is you, my dear friend
For I’m so dreadfully in love with you.

darn double post! lol

does it gotta be new?

Ok here. I explained the word in english then explained its importance in other lands.

Why
Has so many interpetations
And translations
Based on the regions
Warum?
Did the Germans show such hate?
And so many Jews had to fall?
Por que?
Did the Spanish hate the Muslims?
And fight for the Holy Land?
Pour Quoi?
Did Marie wish to gamble her prince's wealth?
And let her people starve?
E perche?
Did Brutus slain his familar cousin?
And lead to the collapse?

^^hmm
[PygmyPuff]

[All through our lives, we've been waiting
All through our lives, we kept on believing]

Why, when the Earth turns around everyday
Ignorant, neglecting, keeping us at bay
Why, when that time you spoke my name
Ignited all my past and present flame

Why, was I so stupid to let myself be tamed
When all this time it was just a boy's game
Why, after all the pouring lost pain inside
Did I allow myself to be hated and denied

[Moments tick between every scorching word
Drifting farther and farther for every thought not heard]

Why, did I obey every command your eyes shed
When it was clear the law was made for dread
Why, can't I stop writing about something unworthy
Unable to control myself from your desperate pleas

Why, must my love go wasted in front of my face
Not knowing where it went or how it was displaced
Goodbye for now, my once...charming prince
I've been falling, dying, drowning ever since

[All through our lives, we've been waiting
All through our lives, we kept on believing]

BUMP

what is BUMP? what does it do?

Why does heartache affect the heart?
When the thoughts are in your head,
What makes the pulses race with speed?
And not your brain instead
Or does it give your head an ache?
And assist your thoughts to whir
Into a sumptuous whirlpool
Where all your thoughts do stir;
The reason that I ask this
Is plain as it can be
I suffer all these feelings
Are you feeling just like me?

i bumped this cause of the spam- i moved it from page 14 or so back to page one, where it should be,

stupid spammer..... >=[

Why?

Why can't I unglue my heart?
that is stitch into yours.
Why do I let you hurt me?
And come back for more.

Why do you tell me flat lies?
Knowing they’ll make me cry.
Why am I a fool for you?
There nothing or no one who
can make me stop loving you.

You use me like a dry towel, and when
you finish you throw me down. You
make me feel stupid and so unneeded, but
without you my heart is steady bleeding.

Baby why is your love so confusing?
And why is it my heart you keep abusing.
Why make me choose? When my heart will
never be unglue.

Why?

Perpetuate Word
By: Twisted Heart

In the midst of controversy,
we ask ourselves, Why.
When we listen to our children
they question us, Why.
Transcending in our thoughts
always the need to know
Our curious minds consume
the knowledge, when it flows.

In darkness, we sit in ignorance,
not understanding, why
As slumber captures us in dreams
we always wonder, why
Upon the quest of wisdom
we try to overcome
The distant piece of reality
of what we have become.

Soul seekers of the answers
to all the questions, why
We tend to fight for dignity
as corruption comes to light
Inventions and creations
interventions of the times
Is immortalized forever
in the trappings of our minds.

"Why"
By ~Angel of Secrets~

Why love someone,
with the risk of being broken?
Why say your sorry,
when the breaking words are already spoken?

Why try to love,
when he doesn't love you back?
Why try to see the light,
when the world's already black?

Why try to not think,
when you know it just won't do?
Why try to understand,
when you know you have no clue?

Why try to see things clear,
when you're already blind?
Why even look,
when you have nothing to find?

Why try to fix things,
when you know it can't be fixed?
Why try to sort out feelings,
when they're already mixed?

Why try to forget it,
when you know you are obsessed?
Why try to be happy,
when you're already depressed?

Why try to forget,
when you know it can't be forgotten?
Why try to water a flower,
when its already rotten?

Why even bother,
let love into you're heart?
Why risk breaking it,
when it wasn't even whole to start?

I've Never Walked Out of a Theatre, but...
by The New Black

I sit here in the theatre pews
Stale coke stuck to my shoes
Staring at the movie screen
Waiting for the climactic scene

But nothing happens
It just goes on
New characters introduced
Without explanation

The plot jumps from then to there
Until I don't know who what or where
Let this poor excuse of a film be made
And I wonder why I even stayed

BECAUSE I PAID
BECAUSE I PAID

In braincells lost to that worthless tripe
Not one redeaming virtue for all the hype
I sat through it all, so I couldn't refund
And I wonder why I didn't bring a gun

Fiery Anger
by ѕ¢αяℓєт.ℓιρѕ ♥

Feelings crumpled, firmly tied in knots
Tears streaming down scrunched faces
Friendships at breaking point once again
Slowly unraveling a shoes sturdy laces..

Perplexed beyond my usually good control
Asking myself why we were ever friends
Tearing apart our millions of memories
Now too late to repair or to make amends..

Hatred pulsating through my heated veins
Eyes glaring icily into the head they despise
Fiery anger lingers throughout my body
Going to the bathroom, wiping teary eyes..

Why, how did this fight ever begin
Muddled thoughts creating fog in a mind
Fuming beyond belief, yet crying inside
All promises and memoirs start to unwind..

Wishing she would change her spoiled ways
Grow up a little; be honest and try not to lie
Say she is sorry more, and be a proper friend
But until then, I am afraid this is goodbye..

Why Do I...
by KT
Why do I continue to care
when you show so little emotion?
Why do I always share
what I feel, when you show little devotion?
Why do I ignore the pain
when it's almost too much to bear?
Why do I let you stain
my heart with tears that shouldn't be there?
Why do I miss you
when you shouldn't cross my mind?
Why do I need you
when it causes me to whisper blind?
Why do I long for you
when I cry myself to sleep?
Why do I know this is true
and why does it cause me to weep?
I care because I can
I share because I need to
I ignore it because you're worth it
I let you because you can break it
I miss you because you're wonderful
I need you because you can help me
I long for you because only you can sooth me
I know this because I love you and I love every little thing about you and I'd die for you or without you, you are my world and my man and my confidant, you are my best friend and the one person who's criticism actually hurts. I need you by my side to be whole, but I can stand alone, just not with the confidence that you can give me.

Why Go Home?

long years of love
comes to an end, with a forever knot
time slipped so fast
now realizing the pain in the end I have got
everyday's combat for survival
sucking each drop right from my heart

dreams of rich and fame
flying high as a foam
just fighting against my own doubts
why go home?

memories of sweet journey that I ever had
now haunting my fear so tight
will I be able to find a reason
for going home tonight?

each burning kiss that I ever made
each embrace which was not to fade
each spark that I create
was called fake

multiple identities is what they say
when I realize that I am loosing my face everyday
with no plans for future
and no care of past
I am a guy asking myself
why should i stay alive today?

long years of togetherness
comes to an end, with a forever knot
time just passing by
realizing the pain I have in the end got
everydays battle for a peaceful breath
just fighting against my own doubt
if I really meant whatever I said

excuses to live with a reason to die
messes my mind, kills my skin
leaves my hand on my head
and my eyes so dry
making me look above once again
screaming for the end to this pain

everyday realizing how bad I am
with those cruel words of yours
just exactly knowing who I am
I search for myself in that hatred land
with a same doubt in my sight
begging for a reason to survive and a reason to go home tonight

watching my funeral everyday
with those voices of wailing
as they bury me six feet under
I saw my soul sailing

sitting face to face with my soul
those red wet eyes gazed right through me
I just cant forget those words
when I was told, " I am free"

celebrated my last rites with fire
lying peacefully below earth
I reached my desire

through a whole in my coffin
I saw pretending faces around me
my loved ones whispered
"we won't let you be free"

memories of sweet journey that I ever had
now haunting my fear so tight
will I be able to find a reason
of sleeping tonight?

WHY???

Why do you tell me you care, if you really don't
Why do you tell me you'll call me back if you really wont
Why do you tell me I'm wrong, when you know I'm right
Why do you tell me you will, if you mean might
Why do you make up excuses, when you know u did me bad
Why do you lie to my face, cause that really makes me mad
Why do you tell me to call, if your not gonna pick up
Why do you ask me how I'm doing, if you don't give a fuck
Why do you make me cry, for the stupid shit you do
But don't be surprised when I say we're through
