Tell Me Why
Tell me why men and women go to war.
Tell me why they die for causes that know one has an explaination for.
Tell me why we rush to the aid of homeless and hungry people not from
the United States.
Tell me why our homeless and hungry dont get the same treatment and
our elected leaders will tell you its still up for debate.
Tell me why the elderly should have to decide to choose to get food or
medication.
Tell me why they have a disease where they cant remember their name
or the last time they went on vacation.
Tell me why I use to pay for gas with the money i had in my pocket.
Tell me why now not only do the oil bigwigs get richer, but I now I have to
also lock it.
Tell me why people that retired years ago are suppose to enjoy the golden years.
Tell me why now those same people are working again just to survive and exsist
from there worst fears.
So some one please tell me why these same questions get asked over
and over with no certain reply.
I guess we will never know with any certainty any answers,so untill then I'll just
ask please tell me why.
