Why
Why people say things that they don’t really mean?
Why do things for other people and not your own?
Why take away jobs that people really need?
Why take away homes and leave then on the streets?
Why take away things that people really need just to build up your self-esteem?
Why I ask these questions they look at me and say?
“No!” I say with a neck roll and an attitude
It’s not about why I ask them, it’s about what’s you’re doing about them, I look at them and
said!
As they just stand there and look at me, and have nothing to say!
I just look roll my eyes and walk away!
“As the door closed behind me I fall to my knees and pray for God to forgive all the people
in there with nothing to say.”
