State of Mind

State of Mind 
Sitting here wondering why,
we have daybreaks 
before we see the light.
Sitting here wondering why,
the poor are sick,
and what's the government
trying to hide.
Sitting here wondering why,
God takes the good ones 
and 
leave the bad to survive.
Sitting here wondering why,
we have to kill thousands
just to get one man 
alive.
Sitting here wondering why,
I wrote this poem 
and
how it made me cry.
