Why?

" Why? "

by Sylvester Jackson
The Royal Scribe

for Each and Every
Member
of the Royal Realm...

Why do people hurt one another
when we're all sisters and brothers?
Why do people assassinate
someone's character
gossip and demean
someone or verbally
tear them down?
Why must people
act like clowns?
Why do people try
to control others
or change them
instead of just
letting them be?
Why do people
do such cruel things
to you and me?
Why do people
rob, cheat and steal?
Why do people
wheel and deal?
Why are people
so jealous and envious?
Why is there so much mistrust?
Why do people argue, fuss or fight
when they know that it's just not right?
Why? Why? Why?
Must things be this way?
Can't we all just get along today?
Why do people hate one another
because of the color of his or her
skin or their sexual preferences,
or their religious beliefs?
Why are their so many muggers,
rapists, murderers or thiefs?
Why is the state of the nation so sad?
It is because everybody's going mad!
Why are we forced to live
like prisoners in our own homes?
Why are our streets not safe to roam?
Why? Why? Why?
Must things be this way?
Can't we just live in peace
and harmony today?
Why are our babies
being born with birth defects?
Why are our homeless
treated like rejects?
Why are drugs running
rampantly on our streets?
Why are we not cordial
to people we meet?
Why do we lie
to one another?
Why do we lie
my sisters and brothers?
Why? Why? Why?
Must things be this way?
Can't we all respect
one another today?
Why are their so many
failed marriages
or domestic violence
and nothing's being said?
There's so much silence.
Why do the politicians
seek to corrupt the world
more than it already is?
Why aren't any of our politicians
talking square biz?
Why? Why? Why?
Must things be this way?
Why can't we all
just love one another today?
