Why In the World

Why the rights
Why the wrongs
Why the debates
Why the hate
Why the changes
Why the reality
Why the racism 
Why the poverty
Why live life great 
While people in every single state
Struggle to receive their next plate
Why Mike Brown
Why Sandy Hook 
Why social media
Why less books
Skittles, hoodies & Trayvon
Why does it seem like the world
Is struggling to move on
Why are we scared to go to church
Why the shootings
Why the hurt
Kanye West
Donald Trump 
In 2018
We need to grow as one
Help one another 
Live life right
Before we ask ourselves 
WHY???

Every single night!!!
