Why do we

Why do we

A Poem by Jackie
"

We cant we...

"
Why do we need a bomb? Why can't we 
get along, sing a song and grip a bong. 
We belong. We are strong. We must form 
a bond to see beyond the storm
We need to find a place where it is warm. 
We must disengage from our norm. 
Form a new race Like children of the corn
This is no new phase, we shall offer no praise 
We were  enslaved long before we we're born 

Why can't we live in peace. Or keep 
our noses clean atleast. Must we feed
feed into this disease.  Must we disagree
I'm stuck in disbelief. Had enough of
All this grief. So much tension in the air
That i breathe. Why cant we just let it be

Why do we need a bomb? Why can't we 
get along, sing a song and grip a bong. 
We belong. We are strong. We must form 
a bond. We must get along. Why can't we get along

Must i be a witness, an outsider? 
Where is this resistance? How do i, 
how can i fit in this? How can i relate? 
I don't believe its fate. I will not relinquish. 
I will not, I can not be fake Taken all 
that i can take It's this sickness that i 
can not shake. I am irate and i am wide awake
Calling out for our sake, there so much left at stake

Why do we need a bomb? Why can't we 
get along, sing a song and grip a bong. 
We belong. We are strong. We must form 
a bond. We must get along. Why can't we get along

I can not pretend. I can not just watch 
while we all descend...

Why do we need a bomb? Why can't we 
get along, sing a song and grip a bong. 
We belong. We are strong. We must form 
a bond. We must get along. Why can't we  
Why can't we get along...
