Why

Why are we here, what’s the point, why are we born to die? Why are humans so cruel, why do we continue to lie? Why am I asking all these questions, why can’t I try to forget? Why can’t I be happy and smile instead of getting upset? Why is there so much hate and violence, it must be contagious, Why does slavery still exist? This bizarre world is outrageous. Why do we dream, why is reality a nightmare, why is life unfair? Why do we live in a planet that couldn’t be bothered to care? Why are people getting dumber, why are we living in a generation of fools? Why is technology getting smarter and taking over schools? Why didn’t Socrates write any books, why are governments full of crooks? Why are there so many shallow people fixated on looks? Why can’t we all work together, why is humanity insane? Why do we have emotions and feel so much pain? Why do we laugh, why do we smile, why do we cry? Why is it always so hard to say that final goodbye? Why brag about money laughing like everything’s funny? Why not highlight the darkness, this planet is far from sunny. Why are we divided by race when there’s no such thing? Why are materialistic people so obsessed with bling? Why pretend to be something that you’re not? Be happy with what you got, Why can’t you just be yourself or have you honestly forgot?
