WHY

Why is the world so bitter today
Why have people began wars today
Why are there children still starving today
Why has the weather been acting this way
As we sit back in our chair do we really care...

Do we care about people who are old
Do we care their stories never told
Do we care that human life is so abused
Do we care enough to name those who do
As we sit back in our chair do we really care...

Is life really so depressing Maureen? Are people really so bad?
