Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-01-30 11:53 AM


This is a good question....WHY??? Can anyone actually answer it...'tis hard...


Why
Can't the world
Just live
In peace and harmony
No more fighting
No angry words
No more
Painful tears


Why
Must everyone
Live in fear
For their lives
Doors must
Stay locked
Windows
Sealed shut
Who is out there
Left to trust?


Why
Do we live
In such a place
Where murder
Destruction
And rape
Lurk around
Every corner
No where is safe


Why
Is there abuse
In relationships
Every day
Hitting
Punching
Nasty names
The world should not
Be this way


Why
Thirty years ago
Could my parents
Sleep with their
Doors wide open
Trusting strangers
Not to enter?
Back then
It seemed
It was safe enough
To do anything


Why
Is this world
So corrupt?
Full of hatred
And deception
Lies and
Treachery


And no matter
What I do
Everywhere I turn
And everywhere
I go
Evil
Somehow follows me
Waiting
To damage
My delicate mind
With its
Malevolence
And deceit

why? What kind of a question is that? I liked this even though I can't answer you why.
