Why?

Listening to the silence,

With closed eyes,

Why do I remember

Only mindless violence?

Reaching out into darkness

With bloodstained hands,

Why do I feel

Only inconsolable sadness?

Looking at the past

With a empty heart,

Why do I sense

Only betrayed trust?

Seeking to create

With unbending faith,

Why do I see

Only unceasing hate?

Dying amidst devastation

With fleeting regret,

Why do I reap

Only eternal condemnation?
