Why?
July 22, 2009
Life’s biggest blunders
Lie hidden in the faces
Of the experienced…
The tattered and the torn
Incredible and undiscovered wonders
Lie sulking in the places
That are home
To the withered and the worn
A clockless city
With starless nights
And sunless skies
And unfortunate plights
Lonely pairs
And flockless herds
Empty stares
And flightless birds
Questions without answers
Asked desperately often
Quivering lipped pleas
That each victim has in common
None of life
Of what truth there is in lies
Not of strife
Or wasted tears they’ve cried
They gaze into the nothingness
And ask the heavens
Why?
