Why

Why

What is it that makes us get up in the morning?

what pushes us to keep going?

To scream, laugh, cry, feel!?

live or even to just be?

who plants the sead and cares

till someday that sead grows into a lovely tree...

what allows the sun to shine 

let the warmth touch our skin?

what says that life's guilty pleasures are a sin?

what challenges us to fight?

to be out of mind out of sight

and leads us to wrong, to cheat, steal, or kill?

and create such a vicious bite?

that gives us such a thrill

what guides us through the terrors and joys of life.

what makes us love?

to feel and taste its sweet honey?

and feel the sting of the bee

feel the pain of the knife

what makes some of us rich and full of greed 

and some poor generous and who give

when we are the same, on one journey 

to follow our own path and live.
