WHY?
It seems so many times through life
This question is the one we often ask
It rears its ugly little head
Causing us to ponder the meaning of our task
It plays no favorites
Whether it is good or bad
We still ask the question
Whether the outcome is happy or sad
Is it our search for knowledge?
Or our attempt at holding onto control
What drives this desire to know?
That we so closely need to patrol
Sometimes we know the answer
Before the thought crosses our mind
Other times we search for more justification
Thats what we are really trying to find
Facing this question can hang over us
Like a dark cloud that allows no light to shine
It can drive you near madness
As you try to row it all up in a neat little line
It seems it will never elude us
As it touches every aspect of our lives
Never really any closer to enlightenment
Our hearts and souls it strongly ties
Why did he or she and this or that
Happen or act this time or way
How many more times will I
Ask this before the end of my day
Only time I guess really stands a chance
At fully disclosing the complete and total measure
We can only hope that the scale is tipped less
Towards misery and more in tune with pleasure
Yet no matter what the answer
Wed most likely shell out our final dime
If it meant a clear meaning
Somewhere in and during our time
All I know for sure
Is that tomorrow we will ask again why
Despite our efforts it will always remain
Regardless of what we try
Thats the one question that makes us
Both Human and Divine
Dont forget when you lock up
That you be sure to turn off the sign
We must trust that it all somehow
Makes sense for us and what we need
As from that burden we may never
Be able to truly be freed
So as another moment passes
With another outcome and result sealed
The answer to our questions Why
May never be clearly revealed.
Hold on to your faith in the hope
All Things happen for a reason
That it will be understood
In its proper Time and Season
