Why
Why
Why do we feel the need
To cause others to bleed
And off of sadness we feed
Because we are planting the seed
Of fear and despair
People place certain things above others
Saying that they are more important
Over the eyes they pull the covers
And the severity suddenly feels shortened
Why
Why do people have to hush others
Trying to make this world better
We want to enact change
See the world rearrange
Because us down here in our age
We are stuck in a cage
Of worry
That the next generation won’t see the world for how it used to be
But how it is
Why
Why decide that other matters are more important
That people trying to make a life for themselves
Is more important than the environment
How our Earth is dying
Underfed babies are crying
People are cheating and lying
People scared decide that this is not worth it and go flying
Oh sorry
Is the fact that she follows a religion make you crave her death
Because she wants to love she should reach her last breath
Or that she wasn’t ready to be a mother
She should now be smothered
Because we don’t value her life anymore
Why
Why do we treat others this way
Causing conflict
When we should be coming together with no delay
To help others and give them no dismay
I’ll tell you what could come of this
And it ain’t pretty
Our original dream of bliss
Is now compromised of pointing fingers, but we are all guilty
Because we put more value on money than life
Soon we will lose our Earth in a one-sided fight
Because we stopped caring
Which causes the younger ones to see
That the ones in which told us the earth was for sharing
Are about as selfish as can be
