I Don'T Know Why Part 2

8/26/15



I don't know why
I still don't know why 

People will
Kill

For less or more than a mill
In the form of check or bills

Only to end up in a cell without a window sill
Where there is zero breeze inside and the air is still

I don't know why
But this place has been getting so live
Since way before oh five


I don't know why
Those that don't strive
And have no drive
Usually inhibit themselves from being able to grow wise
And understand with experiences through their own eyes


I don't know why
And may never know why

This is one of the only planets to host life
As I look up at the stars and towards Mars, during most nights
