Just Because
Why do you say you are not that to me?
I never asked you to be anything.
Why do you think my life revolves around you?
I know your integrity is not true.
Just because we are people of structure does not mean you have to care
for the next person.
In statement, I address what you say.
I know that you do not play.
When the hurricane hit, I knew you were only looking out for yourself.
Just because we all are in a humanitarian world, does not mean you have
to give a damn about the next individual.
What if the same was done to you, just because...
Would outcry for help be heard?
Altruistic we define just because we love life.
Philanthropic is a benevolent fight.
Just because wrong must become right.
Misanthropic this designs.
Why not be assiduous just because you are part of mankind?
Why not joist life?
Just because…
Why am I here?
Then again...
From where did I come?
