Who, What, Where, When and Why

Who, What, Where, When and Why Who are the people, that have touched your life in some way Who are the loved ones, that inspire you each and everyday Who are those friends, that share their laughter every time Who are the family members, making homecoming so sublime What are your expectations, in each and every encounter you have had What are your dreams, the ones that make you feel happy and so sad What are your emotions, that envelope and consume your very soul What are your revelations, the ones you reveal, that make you whole Where do your thoughts go, when they are no longer of concern Where do your emotions travel, when there is nowhere else to turn Where do your pains carry you, when you feel each one has been earned Where do your regrets find you, when you amass what you have learned When will you realize, that anger and hate blackens your very soul When will you understand, that hateful words you say do take their toll When will you decide, that change is needed if we are truly to survive When will you believe, that we need tolerance and love to keep us alive Why do you continue, to do the things that you know are wrong Why do you accept, the atrocities that you have seen for so long Why do you allow, just to watch, do nothing and just let it all be Why do you care, the events in this world are not happening to me Take the time to answer these questions Who, What, Where, When and Why
