Tell Me Why
Tell me why men and women go to war.
Tell me why they die for causes that know one has an explanation for.
Tell me why we rush to the aid of homeless and hungry people who are not from the united
States.
Tell me why our homeless and hungry don't 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 weather to get food or medication.
Tell me why some of them cant remember their name or the last time they went on vacation.
Tell me why I use to pay for my gas with the money from my pocket.
Tell me why now not only do the oil bigwigs get richer, but now i have to also lock it.
Tell me why people that retired a long time ago are suppose to enjoy tier golden years.
Tell me why now those same people are working again just to survive and exist from there
worst fears.
So someone 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 the answers, so until then I'll just ask please
tell me why.
