I recently posted a blog called Why? It received somewhat of a good reaction, so I came out with another one, “Why Again” to expound a little further on the subject. The little boy is still asking, but still not getting the answers; I guess. Regardless, the same question comes up but will we hear what we want to hear sometime????
Why Again 2015-124
Why? The little boy asks,
For an answer to a simple question
Why, he asks, is the sky so blue,
Yet so black at night with stars
Why, for so many questions,
That come to a mind so young
I ask why too, but answers do not come,
For the many things in the world today
Why, for instance, do we accept the deaths
On highways due to drunks
Or drug induced horrors we see,
on TV and streets each day
Why do we condone the way
leaders do not lead
And why is there the killing done
in the name of religion too
Even those that do have not the real
Reasons of why they do…..
And yet, it’s not hard to understand,
The unanswered whys, I have
When we cannot even get along
With our neighbors for little things
The rage that occurs for simple reasons
That should not cause a stir
How can we expect nations to agree
And settle their differences with calm
To ask ‘Why Not ‘ for all these things
Is being naïve to a degree
But then again, I should know better
