Why
In this world
Good is taken for granted
Being bad is desired
And we face issues that break us down
This world is twisted and confused
Why do good girls like bad boys?
Why are children abused?
Why do planes crash
Killing millions of innocent people
Why are minorities being shot?
If we are all created equal
Why do we have cancer?
Why do we have AIDS?
Why can’t we be healthy and happy?
Living out the rest of our days
Why do daddies leave their babies?
Do they forget they are alone?
Why do they leave the mothers?
To fend for themselves in broken homes
Why do we have natural disasters?
Why do we have wars?
Why do we result to violence?
Is talking not good enough anymore?
Why don’t we pray?
Why do we curse?
Why do we love the ones that hurt us?
And treat our loved ones the worst
The world is in ruins
Was this part of the plan?
Were we supposed to endure hardship?
Maybe it’s not meant to understand
We cannot face this world alone
Together we should press our hands
Fall to our knees
And pray for the betterment of man
Pray for yourself
Pray for the meek
Pray for your enemies
Pray for the weak
Stop tearing each other down
Words cut deeper than knives
Spread uplifting energy
Start holding your head up high
In a world filled with hatred
Stand up and make a change
One voice can make a difference
A good deed will pave the way
Do not be discouraged
By the sadness on the news
You and I can make the world greater
But, only if we choose
