WHY

Why are we born why do we die
Why do we laugh Why do we cry

Why don't we stay young 
Why do we have to grow old

Why must we love someone 
Why must we hate

Why do we believe that death
Is our fate.

Why do we question everything 
We are told

Why do we still feel young 
When we are old

Why do we need the company 
Of others 

Why didn't we listen to our fathers 
And  mothers 

Why do we hurt the ones we love
Why  we believe in God up above 

 Why is the question the answers 
I don't know 

Why don't you try to explain the things
I have asked why don't you give it a go
