Why???????

Sometimes I sit back and ask myself Why? I ask myself Why? As I shake my head While viewing a world that's nearly dead But no one else seems to care When people gather around placin balloons and teddy bears Another soul has been swept away By the devil chosen one's a terrible dismay Sometimes I sit back and with such confusion When I see women downgradin themselves with prostitution Sleeping around for money not promise to them Hands on my head as I say they're broken and bent When I see men lustin after younger girls 13 maybe under no answer to the question so I'm left here wonderin Old enough to be their father No one else seems to care makes me wonder why bother? This world we live in doesn't seem to be a world It seems to me to be a crazy nonrealistic story Where there's no praise no hope and no glory Sometimes I sit back and pray Because I know that i'll change even today!!!!!!

I ask myself why a lot also. I love the scenarios in this poem. You painted a world not filled with rose and daffodils. I love your style. Great write.
