Why

As the blood slows

So does my life

It's not that painful

Not like my life

If a man dies alone

Does he make a sound

Who knows

Who cares

Sometimes I know what the animals are saying

Sometimes I don't know what the people are saying

Jay, A poem called 'Why'. Question from millions. Wish I had answers., my travels made me blind. 'Sometimes I know what the animals are saying' Sometimes I don't know what the people are saying' - Yeah, right there. Says so much in powerful little words. -Richard
