Why?

If the government is against child labor

Then why do they give us homework?

If we finish our syllabus in school

Why do they tell us to do more work?

If a girl and a boy can be best friends

Why do adults have curious eyes?

If they say that all dreams come true one day

When they don't, why aren't they surprised?

If reading and writing are good things

Why do they call us geeks?

If trendy teenagers look awesome

Why do others call them freaks?

The word 'Why' makes me ponder

On each and every question in my head

And some of these meaningless questions

Are what you have just read 

Author's Note

... NO IDEA
I wanted to write on teachers giving us home works to do, but it ended up into this :P

Homework is not work. It is a part of life to teach you responsibility and be able to make wise decisions. I understand your question. Sometime the school work we do seem useless. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

The word why is constant in my mind. Quite thought provoking write. Nice job!

this is awesome!! good questions to be asking.. I guess that people call others names because we are not like them. Everyone needs to recount what they have said before they say something different!!

Everyday questions with no real answers. I hate it when my someone says 'You won't understand' If they won't explain how the hell am I supposed to get it? Stupid people... great write :)
