The Ballad of Why

Can someone please tell me why,
the change in the color of skies?
The sadness and fear in our eyes?
While our leaders keep coughing up lies?
For what prize? Our demise?

Why do they think to survive,
that most of the living must die?
With cancer that fell from the skies?
While alphabet gangs sell us lies?
Tell me why!

I’d rather dream of the world as serene;
Where we’re free from the schemes.
I’d rather not stare at the clouds everywhere
Till we’re free, come with me, let it be.

Why are they cutting down trees?
For disposable things we wont keep?
The lungs of our mother Earth weeps.
Can’t we see, what she needs, tell me why?

It’s a world where we’ve all become tied
To countless unthinkable bribes,
The dollar reigns all from inside
of our minds, for what prize?
Tell me why!
