Why are children beaten and maimed?
Why are Black Men imprisoned when framed?
Why do the poor live each day with a sigh?
Why are we born, grow old, and just die?
Why do we backstab, betray a true Friend?
Why does the rain from heaven descend?
Many people are wealthy, then Why is there lack?
Why is everything evil equated with BLACK?
We say kids are our future/a glory divine
Then Why Conyers Georgia, and Why Columbine?
Between the young and the old, a generational gap
Why do we scorn and misunderstand Rap?
We have Love for The Lord, and frown on abortion
Why does Corporate America engage in extortion?
Once Prayers guided schools, but, now it seems it's too late
Why the separation between Churches and State?
Divided We Fall and United We Stand
Then Why does great Africa exist by a strand?
"The Land Of The Free" in our lore it's been told
Yet, now there's few rainbows and even less pots of gold
All the signs are before us, still, our vision stays blurred
Why believe a False Prophet instead of God's Word?
The AntiChrist/Beast/and Babylon's Whore
Why Osama Bin Laden and Rumors Of War?
I'm groping in darkness for answers, with no concrete reply
So, I'll continue my sojourn...with the question of...Why?
