WHY






But why
Sometimes I wonder
The suffering, the anguish
The pain, the hardship
Why does it all have to be?
Why?

The misery, the poverty
The children, their bellies distended
Feet bare and eyes protruding
Why?

The mushroom clouds
The bellowing rocks
The belching chimneys
And there are the trembling grounds
And the rising waters
Why?

Mothers snatch up their babies
They flee before the invasion
Shouting to the older ones to run
As fast as their legs can carry them
But not all make it
Children separated from mothers
And wives from husbands
Why?
