Just another poem

A few questions are asked to a group of people,

each asked by different individuals;

"Why do we cry?"

The ignorant answer "because we're weak."

The young answer "because we're sad"

The teens answer "because we're tired."

The wise answer "because we are human."

The self-absorbed answer "because we can, and we don't care what you think."

The women answer "because it's our nature."

The men answer "because we're weak."

"Why do we teach?"

The young answer "to learn new things."

The teens answer "it's a necessity."

The wise answer "to further our knowledge."

The women answer "because it's our job as adults."

The men answer "because we're adults, and must teach the future generation."

One last question.

"Why do we hurt?"

The young answer "because of bad things."

The teens answer "because of people"

The wise answer "because of society"

The self-absorbed answered "because life does that"

The women answer "because of people"

The men answer "because things happen."

Why do we cry?

Why do we teach?

Why do we hurt?

Please. Be the wise.
