Why Can'T We
why can't we see
the bigger picture
why can't we see
other human figures
why can't we all
just get along
why can't we all
make each other strong
day by day-night by night
we hate and hate-fight and fight
day by day-night by night
we live without-peace in sight
gangs and war
hatred and violence
years go by
and still no silence
why can't we learn
to love and laugh
why can't we learn
to let the past wars be the last
why can't we be
each other's crutches
why can't we be
without grudges
why can't we live
without harm and hatred
why can't we live
without words so tainted
words can kill, they often do
when they're said-we have no clue
they hurt real bad and stick like glue
hatred forms and that's when we lose
why can't we all
just get along
why can't we all
make each other strong
why can't we see
the bigger picture
why can't we see
other human figures
