 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Why, Why, Why?


Why do they make us suffer?
Why do they cause us such pain?
Why do they treat us so badly?
Why, when there's nothing to gain?

Why are we punished and beaten?
Why, when we did nothing at all?
Why, can anyone tell me...?
Why I was beaten from when I was small?

Why, is there a rhyme or reason?
Why, did I deserve the pain?
Why do they do it, what did I do?
Why was I beaten again and again?

Why, why, oh why did I cry?
Why was I black and blue?
Why did I constantly wish to die?
Why, tell me what did I do?
