Why

Why 
By Joeysguy

How would it be talking to God 
Getting a response might be odd 

I would ask, since you are the higher good
Why can’t you protect people as you could                  
                      
Children are so innocent and pure
Some sick with a disease, why can’t we get a cure

Some of the evil that men do
They yell and scream in the name of you

When any terror comes out of the night
They want to hurt, kill or just fight

 Some only care about their belief
They care nothing about loss or grief 

Why can’t you strike out the terror in ones mind
Before they can hurt the innocent, the kind 

We lose loved ones to sickness or an end to their time 
Why can’t you stop any terror before the crime
