Why???????

Sometimes I sit back and ask myself 
Why?
I ask myself Why? 
As I shake my head 
While viewing a world that's nearly dead
But no one else seems to care
When people gather around placin balloons and teddy bears
Another soul has been swept away
By the devil chosen one's a terrible dismay

Sometimes I sit back and with such confusion
When I see women downgradin themselves with prostitution
Sleeping around for money not promise to them
Hands on my head as I say they're broken and bent
When I see men lustin after younger girls 
13 maybe under no answer to the question so I'm left here wonderin
Old enough to be their father 
No one else seems to care makes me wonder why bother?
This world we live in doesn't seem to be a world 
It seems to me to be a crazy nonrealistic story 
Where there's no praise no hope and no glory

Sometimes I sit back and pray
Because I know that i'll change even today!!!!!!

I ask myself why a lot also. I love the scenarios in this poem. You painted a world not filled with rose and daffodils. I love your style. Great write.
