Why?


Why?

Why should we bother?

 People never change.

People never change anything.

So, why should we?

 

Why? you ask?

Here's a new question,

One you aught to ponder.

If you think it through

You'll find the question is, in truth...

 

Why not?

Why wouldn't I bother

I can change.

I can change everything.

So... Why wouldn't I?
