Why do people do bad things?
The horrors and atrocities that they do is
For the sake of themselves, benefits, and their beliefs.
Why do others make us suffer?
All the events on the news stations
Make the world seem very bleak.
Why do people choose to cause hurt?
The pain and suffering is far
Too much in this world.
Why do people enjoy violence?
Those that are blinded by rage
Make the world tinged with crimson.
Why do so many people have to hate?
The feelings seep into the minds of others,
An afflicting disease that destroys without remorse.
Why do people cause ruin?
It does nothing good and it
Merely adds to the horrors of the world.
Why do they they take away from others´ peace?
Their jealousy and envy get the better of them.
They take what they want, but don't get what they need.
Why do people always try to hide?
They run from the light, for they know that it will
Reveal their true motives and wrongdoings.
Why do people disagree?
No one is willing to compromise because
Everyone else is wrong, and they are right.
Why do people try to get their way?
Nobody can ever get what they want all the time.
They are destined to fail sometimes, and when they do, I'll laugh.
Why do people dream though?
To escape the terrors this world can bring.
To have something more then it offers at the time.
Why do people try?
They believe in themselves, and
Know that there really is a chance.
Why do people strive for peace?
It would make this world a much better place,
A better world for everyone.
Why do people give?
They hope for something better, and
Work to make it so for someone else.
Why do people keep going?
They know that moving back is not an option,
And that it leads to nowhere.
Why do people stand up?
They know that backing down will only make
Them inferior and they know someone must stand, or we all will fall.
Why are some stronger than others?
We need the stronger ones to stand up for the weaker ones.
Everyone has their own role in the world. We can't all be leaders.
Why does it take such a lot to do very little?
So many people push against progress and
Would rather stay with what they are comfortable with.
Why do people laugh?
They do it to escape,
To have a moment of joy in the midst of gloom.
Why do people sing and dance?
It is a way to break free,
And enjoy something good that the world still has left.
Why don't we all do something?
Some are afraid,
While some have already tried and failed.
Why don't we just move on?
