Tell Me Why....

Tell me why,
We kill each other,
Tell me why,
A child grow up,
With fear in her eyes…
Tell me why,
The boy went to school,
A gun in his bag,
Tell me why,
Why did he shoot them?
What had they done…?

Tell me why,
Those men had to molest,
Such a young one,
Still a child…
Tell me why,
Why did they have to bury the truth?
Why don’t I know?
What to tell my daughter,
When she asks me…
Why?

Tell me why,
Did they drop the bomb?
Telling the world,
It was all fair,
They deserved it,
Tell me why…
Why do I have to fear,
Turning on the news,
Fearing what I might see,
Knowing I won’t know the reason,
Of the blood in those streets…
