Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Tell Me Why

Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why 
W/why must life be so 
H/hard when we are given
     Enough from nature 
Y/yet we cry 

Tell me why 
Everyone got a question
Called why 
W/why must a baby be 
      Born just to die of starvation
H/how come surplus food 
   Out there in places are now
   A scarcity 
Y/yet our rich waste been 
   Still can feed the poor

Tell me why 
Everyone got a question
Called why 
W/why do we exist
H/here on earth 
Y/your existence is not 
Sudden even if you are poor

Tell me why 
Everyone got a question
Called why 
W/why can't the world
H/here the voice of nature
Y/your life can be with out nature
So respect the gift of life

Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why 
W/why this why that 
H/have this have that 
Y/yet at the end 
    We leave life empty
    And go away with nothing
