Why do we use the math we learned
to subtract the weak and add the cash of the full
Why do we sweat for the dollars, the checks
when in return they only break our necks
Why do we learn the history
that victors wrote and created the story
Why do we say time heals and flies
when we keep breaking its wings
Why do we burn with so much hate
when it only fuels more bait to hate
Why do we desire trophies
when we create so many catastrophes
Why do we give the most scars
to the most valuable ones of ours
Why do we blame the DJ
when we asked for the playlist
Why do we want revolution in this century
when we and our TVs are stalling evolution
Why do we fight for revenge and more
when our laughter is sweeter than our enemy’s tears
Why do we make pretensions
and then mask them with a pretense
Why do we say we’re in pieces
and then increase the rest and peaces
Why do we cold-heartedly argue
and engender more cold wars
Why do we say we want the truth
and then search for the toothless truths
Why do we tie black and yellow ribbons
and soon loosen and forget them
Why do we say one thing and do another
and listen through one ear and out the other
Why do we ask for evidence
when we don’t even have a clue
Why do we pay for new clothes and toys
when we don’t even pay attention
Why do we all want to be a rich businessman
when we don’t even have a single business plan
Why do we complain about the pollution
and fill our lungs with filth from ourselves?
