No I Don'T Know Why

7/10/16


No I don't know why

Two different people seeing the same thing thing with their own eyes
May have different interpretations of what happened,  as time goes by

No I don't know why

Still all these stones fly
Near and far from areas that are bone dry

No I don't know why

Many pay no mind
To how the crow flies


No I don't know why

Not all are able to grow wise
While living above and below sky


No I don't know why


We aren't always given a chance to bid all of the folk bye
In case you didn't know home fry

No I don't know why

But I'd rather put all jokes aside
And watch the chimney smoke rise


No I don't know why

Most times
I was getting so high

No I don't know why


Very few planets we know of host life
I guess we've barely broke the ice

No I don't know why

I just don't lie
So if you truly want to go ahead and quote I

No I don't know why


Unless it's money, I'm not picking up any phone lines
Wherever, while the light on the coast shines


No I don't know why

I have no idea what I will and won't find
On both sides

No I don't know why
