Why Days Go By

I sit and wonder why days go by 
I sit and think why people tell a lie 
When they have lots of truth at hand 
Instead of making a lot of good friend 
Why people make foes for a little gain 
Why people fall in love when they know 
Break up gives them so much  pain 

I sit and wonder why days go by 
I sit and think where people go when they die 
Why they know not when they are alive 
Why they know not when death will arrive 
Why such darkness in spite of having so much light 
Why such sorry plight in spite of having so much might 

I sit and wonder why days go by
I sit and think why people blame and cry 
When life is itself grand and great 
Instead of owning life why people believe in fate 
Why such stupidity in spite of having brain 
Why such predicament in spite of having blood in vein
