pondering

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

why is the world rotten to the core?  why don't people care about who presses the red button?  why do amazing people long to step off that bridge?  why must love constitue hate?  why does it never get better or easier?  why does the past haunt us forever?  why is religion usually motivation for war?  why doesn't god love my kind?  why does pain hurt? why do they rape us?  why can't i smile sometimes?  why do you bring a grin to my lips?  why do your woes break my heart?  why do you save me?  why do we save each other?  why do friends know just what to say?  why do you take my side?  why does a child's smile mean the world?oh, the questions i will add in time. any suggestions? any answers? don't look down. don't ever look down. don't take that last step, please don't... just hold my hand and it will be ok. you will make it through. you must make it through...
