Important questions
Beneath me is the forever wonder
 Asking, seeking the answer
 To a question that could be called
 A very important one
 But is rarely given attention
 Unfortunate for me, I discovered
 This endless quest for an anwser
 Buried deep within the inferior mind 
 We ask in desperate pleas
 The question that is tearing us apart
 Every day, every moment
 Every single agonizing second
 That drags by like a dying man
 Pulling himself to the Nirvana
 That is nothing more than a cruel mirage sent by Job's destroyer to shatter his already cracked soul
 I ask myself this horrible question
 A question that is mere words
 That somehow magnify themselves
 To horrid giants that repeatedly
 Stomp down on me
 Because
 
 I
 
 CANNOT
 
 ANSWER
 
 A question that wants to be answered
 But my feeble but still amazingly strong human mind that so many
 Believe to be weak and cowardly
 And yet, they don't realize
 That our minds deal with endless
 Never stopping
 Bone shattering
 Heart destroying
 
 GRIEF
 
 That we can 
 
 NEVER ESCAPE FROM
 
 And yet, what do we do?
 We move on, we still move on
 We keep destroying and building
 Without fail or hesitation
 With tears in our eyes
 And forced smiles on our bleeding faces
 
 WE MOVE ON!
 
 Still, there is no denying
 That our minds are unbelievably fragile
 My mind, which struggles to be ignorant
 To the inhumane, evil, heinous things that happen to people
 Who are being punished for their ancestor's sin that has long been washed away by the gallons of blood that have been split 
 And forgiven
 By the only person who matters
 But I still see the blood and gore
 And hear the cries of the infant
 Whose mother 
 Has just been brutally murdered
 By the man who had sworn
 Until death do us part
 
 I CANNOT BLOCK IT OUT!!
 
 And I wonder as I watch
 Is our happiness
 Worth the sadness
 We must suffer through
 In order to achieve it?
 We must ask if the love we receive
 Is enough to block out the hate
 And if our fight is in vain.
 You say you want peace
 So we must ask
 Can we, destructive, always suffering humans ever find
 This happiness, without having
 To endure the crushing sadness?
 Or have we programmed ourselves
 To always live in a world
 That is interwoven with pain?
 
 God
 
 Help
 
 Us
 
 Should we just give up?
 
 It is even possible for us 
 to give up?
 
 I guess that
 Is the more important question
