"Why"
  by TurtleSoul


Why

is a winning election a cheating one

why cant we

hold steady those heavy Leavys

against those winds of a nagging katrina

y cant we find

he who emails us

sends us videos just to say hes ok

yet his wings of terror blow our twins to towers

why cant we find he who causes pain

yet we can find and kill he who has potential to do

we give him a gun

then kill him for having it

we get shot by another

and do nothing

we just say be calm

it will be ok

sisters brothers mothers fathers

fight the war of no meaning

ordered to kill for oil

as we are under attack

the gas pump sucks

every president we have away

yet drops a single drop into our hand

smiles and leaves

why

is he so rich

yet we so pour

why do we pay for his gas

taxed for his tank

and our own

yet we have none to fill ours

why do we

refuse to vote and change

for another name

yet complain when our name isnt called

for the prosperity of a nation

why .......

cry when you do nothing

........

why

shy when he dies

.... this is

what you wished for

when you refused to vote

vote or die

has become all to real

we you didnt vote

so he died

she is gone

you are broke

a destitude struck nation

is what we have

.... yet why

are those of evil

entranced by there dead predecessors

this president

why

did we vote

or lack there of

for this day and age of pain and destitude

why
