Why

Mr Mrs Charles Daniels 1964 (Bklyn NY)

Why are things the way they are
Why do we think the way we think
Why do we behave the way we behave
Why do some hate to love and love to hate
Why is wrong right and right wrong
Why isn't anyone doing anything about it
Why do we give up so easily
Why do we fear to fight for what's right
Why do some  not believe in God
Why do some not believe in hell
Why do we think it's funny ..
Why do you laugh and then cry..
Why why why ... Will anyone ever answer ... Why

About this poem

Sometimes we really need to ask ourselves questions ...and then try to ... answer them
