Oh Why, Oh Why

Oh why, oh why,
I so often ask,
I ponder all night,
but it’s such a great task.

After rounds of deep thinking,
with the clock gears a’ clinking,
I turn with a great sigh,
yet can think nothing.
Oh why, oh why?

In times of dour need,
with haste in the mind,
we are offered but cherry seeds,
nothing else we could find.

The dark clouds break with a bolt of lightning,
the crowds all freak but continue with fighting.
Many sob and say heartless goodbyes,
but so many more stand clueless,
at most they give a sigh.

As the world crumbles,
with no help in sight,
we all but mumble,
let alone put up a fight.

When rain falls and towns whither,
when coffee and chicken begin to taste bitter,
the danger is here and darkness is nigh,
yet cheery we are,
some even high.

When the world screams for mercy,
when the fish gasps for air,
we know the end is coming,
but run we don’t dare.

The red sky may be falling,
the blue crows may be calling,
we care less if we die,
yet sleep in Hell’s pit,
to freedom we fly.

Humans are cruel,
it’s undeniably fact,
but humans are fools,
that’s why they are fat.

To fly in the sky with their almighty brains,
to furrow below into Mother Nature’s veins,
for what they know not - perhaps it’s for pie,
but their lives are lost,
for not or for lies.

Life is incredible,
incredibly unfair,
while some are born rich,
others live in your hair.

While the bluebird glides with a heavenly grace,
and the fat bug tumbles and smashes a vase,
the potato but rolls into a puddle of lye,
and is butchered and murdered.
Oh why, oh why.
