Why?

A poem about one of the most important questions in life.

Why?

A simple question.

Three letters, one syllable.

So, Why?

why do the stars shine bright in the night sky?

Why does the earth revolve around the sun?

why!?

Tell me,

why do we live in such a world where

People have no conviction...

no conviction in who they are and who they are meant to be!

I say, tell me why,

why people suffer,

Why people cry.

explain the souls of others

Defend yourself,

deepen the meaning.

So tell me...

Why?

Very well written, I feel as if this poem is the definition of curiosity. I would love to see it expanded upon, or other questions involved, for I'm sure you'd be great at that. Good job!

Profound, I couldn't help but think "Why" are we placed here, what purpose do we have, etc. Good read.
