Why
I have been blind all my life,
metaphorically, my world full of strife.
I could not see what was going on,
but cries of help I hear all day long!
All I can do is listen to this planets pain,
to all who can see I ask, "Are you insane"?
wars, hate, discrimination, greed!
"Why", I ask, "What does it all achieve"?
I am told the world is dying,
there is no smoke without fire, or is someone lying?
The blind, no, not just me!
The whole world, why can't you see?
