Tell Me Why

Where  is justice?
In a world filled with tragedy
We must ask ourselves
How do we allow this?
Many innocent are dead
Can someone please answer me
Just tell me why

Tell me why
With no resistance
We let the innocent die
And with no punishment
The guilty simply lie 

In a world with no response
We are supposed to sit by
And not respond
Tell me why
