POEM 5

WHY

Why is a very interestin word
Why in the world is a snake or a bird
Why are there flowers and starfish and sand
Why is there ocean and why is there land?
Why are there eyes an why are there teeth
Why are there tigers and why are there sheep
Why is there hunger and why is there pain
Why do I ask why agin and agin?
Why is there hope and why is there dreams
Why are there some things that ain't what they seem
Why are there people who think they're the best
Just to find out they are just like the rest?
