Why Would You Do It
Why would you do it?
Look into the eyes of innocence and strip them of the life and happiness you see there,
Pull your trigger and splatter that sweet soul's holy blood to the ground in an explosion of pain.
Why would you?
Why would you do it?
See something beautiful and determine to make it ugly,
Imposing your will through whatever form of violence comes most naturally to you.
Why would you?
Why would you do it?
Take precious things like love, trust, hope, and childhood and poison them with your cynical toxic shit
Watch as they gurgle and choke their lives out into the dust of despair.
Why would you?
Why would you do it?
Pour poisons into our water, feed us with crap and spray chemical death into our skies
Driving us ever closer to a totalitarian monoculture world with no diversity or natural exuberance.
Why would you?
Why would you do it?
Look into the sacred heart of your fellow brother or sister
Determined to strip away that sanctity and replace it with death.
Why would you?
Why?
Why do we do it?
Why do we poison our lungs, our livers, our minds and our hearts with all the nasty stuff
Of the corporate corrupted world we know will effect only negative change.
Why do we?
Why do we go on believing the lies of liars, no more comfortable than the inconvenient truth we seek to avoid?
Why do we allow such murder and rape of all that is precious and meaningful about this life to continue?
Why do we lie to those who love us, lie to those who would shelter us, lie to ourselves?
Why do we?
Why Do I do it?
Why?
People do things they believe are right and money makes things right

Why is a easy question we do and say what makes us the person we are we may not be proud of all of them but each thing will one day make sense and help you and the people around u

Hi hon. Thanks for the comment. Why is, in my opinion, the hardest question of all. To ask ourselves why we do what we do, why humanity does the awful things to itself that it does, requires that we look very deep into our own minds, motives and meaning. This is what inspired the poem and what I intended the poem to inspire in others; a moment of deep, honest and creative introspection. ;) xx
