Cruel Life?




Life is cruel
Life is pleasant
Why is there past?
Why is there present?

Why is there abuse?
Why is there death?
Why don't we get to choose
When we take our last breath?

Why is there pain?
When there is so much pleasure
Why do some search for years
And never find their special treasure?

Why do friendships end?
Why does love turn sour?
And how does a seed
Become a flower?

Have you ever asked yourself
Why things are how they are?
Like drinking alcohol is legal
But you can't drink and drive a car

Why are our hearts connected
And our feelings so far apart
Why do we stay in broken relationships
When we know they are doomed from the start

Why do we question things
Even when we know they are right
Why can't we just accept everything
So we can sleep better at night
