Bothered By the Why
Why are you prepared to go to war with your neighbor?
Yet not with the gangs who control the street,
Your children walk down.
Why can you not smell the corruption?
That fouls the air in town,
When you smell your neighbor's apple pie and choose to reject it.
Why do you spread gossip?
And fake news,
Instead of inviting neighbors' to barbecues.
Why am I not surprised any more?
At anything you do.
I just hope your neighbor has more sense than you.
