“How”

 

Why

Do we do these things to each other

To ourselves and our sisters and brothers

Please tell me why

 

What

What do we hope to accomplish

By making ourselves an accomplice

Please tell me what

 

Who

Who gave us the right to demolish

And told us to always act foolish

Please tell me who

 

When

When did we get the right

To struggle and argue and fight

Please tell me when

 

How

How do we hope to repent

For our sins and the hate that we’ve sent

Please tell me how

 

Why don’t we love

What should we do

Who stops to think

When it’s not you

How can we hate

How can we kill

How can we hurt

How can we not…

…know what is right?
