Why

"Why, why must we feel

the need to beat others to

the soil just to makes ourselves

feel strong?"

"Why, why do we see love

as a weakness rather then a

strength?"

"Why, why is the color of

a persons skin so different then

the color of their hair or their eyes?"

"Why, why is the way we look so

much more important then the way

we feel?"

"Why, why can't we see each other as souls

rather then just body's to be buried deep in the earth

the moment we breath our last?"

"Why? I can not say." "Why? You ask me."

"Because I don't know.."

Why is your poem so beautiful. So many questions and so many nice reflection of human life. Creation is born and you are poet on great thorn

[Davidgeo]

Solid. My views are held in the oppo of your poem's theme I think.... but maybe not.

"because I don't know"//// the most honest way to end a poem.... Or anything written or speculated on as far as I'm concerned.

I hate quotation marks within poetry... use a different device to talk to yourself god damn it.

Lovely work though.... love it.

Very good questions to ask. I believe first off we need to love more and hate less..love ourselves, our neighbors, the land around us, all living creatures. We should all be treated the same no matter what race, country, or origin. It all starts within and flows from there...You ask why? I ask why not?

"why" 3 alphabets makes 1 word that sometimes takes even a whole life to define the answers.
And, I really feel proud that you have summoned all the answers in your prose beautifully.
Great work!

[dexterous sam]

why ,ponder over such thing which is difficult to understand still the answer lies in everybody's perception about creation ....

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Very deep and meaningful piece Etana, very glad I popped in to read. Nice job.

[Midnight wonderings]

Thank you so much! It's the first poem I've ever written and posted anywhere so I was a bit nervous.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Well, in that case congrats on your bravery and success! :)
You're over the first hurdle. Keep going!
