Why ?
Mama Earth is crying that's why she's shedding Teardrops from the sky
Just got a message from your mom saying someone just died
Now you fall to the floor with raindrops pouring from your eyes
Life is a mysterious thing they say, but God is wise
If he is then why do good people always die
And why do we kill people If they only leave this world and we still left here to survive
Survival of the fittest determines who lives and who dies
The bible tells the story of a man called Jesus Christ
About this poem
This poem is about the doubts of life and how we find ourselves questioning our beliefs, and faith. I used the Earth to set the tone for this poem in a sad way.
