No One Ever Asks Why

No One Ever Asks Why I look around at the people today Wondering what happened to happier times People die from making love No one ever asks why Children are shot while they play No one ever asks why Our heroes show people how to cheat and lie No one ever asks why Teens spend their lives before a lit screen climbing towers and shooting innocent people Death has become a game No one ever asks why Others have forgotten how to talk Guns, bullets and knives speak for them No one ever asks why Kids learn to hate before they can talk They listen to their parent's hate and grow up not questioning. No one ever asks why People kill in the name of their God although they all believe in the same god No one ever asks why Young men die on a field miles away not knowing, and not asking, why No one ever asks why Our friends become our enemies Our enemies become our friends No one wants to just sit and talk anymore No one ever asks why. Why doesn't someone ask?
