Why

Beautifully a tear feel down my check

An over whelming feeling I could not speak

Why do birds fly as high as they can

Why do dolphins never feel the warmth of the sand

Why do things find sorrow with in

Another’s joy and love and smiles

What makes them fall in to sadness

And walk the heartache miles

Why are the colors that matter black and white

Why do people forget life’s grate sight

What is life with out love why are the stars only up above

Why is a heart that gives us life

Always cut us down and stab us like a knife

Why is my heart full of this wonder

Why is it even a question and forgotten and covered

Why is this life the way it should not be

And why do I feel like the only one asking

What in my power could change a life so dark

And form it to the life it was at the start

What would one do to heal the ears of mankind

Into hearing me scream out that it’s 

Love they need to find

Why am I sitting lonely in the dark

When all I want is the New World to start
