Do you ever wonder?

lyrics

"Why?" - written by Kabir Sen ©2020

Why is this so hard?
why can’t I play my cards?
why am I on edge?
and why are you on guard?
why am I so scarred?
I’m broken like a shard
I’m warm on the outside but inside I’m all charred
Why is this the case?
Why is this my space?
Why is your aggression so blatantly misplaced?
Why do you just run from every obstacle you face?
Why not value life?
You treat it like a waste
Why is it a race?
Why not take your time with it
Why is he so wishy-washy when she’s so committed?
Why despite the evidence won’t you just admit it?
And why are the guilty acquitted when they did it?
Why do you care what people think - you’re on the brink
And why act like you’re afloat when you’re really about to sink?
And why does it feel better if you pour yourself a drink?
And why not take that shower since you obviously stink!
And why are we not able to agree? It’s imperative
But people twist facts to shape their own narrative
Your fake news is embarrassing, I’ll focus on my parenting
A wife and three kids in the ‘burbs, I have everything
And why does it get harrowing when life is souring?
Find a way to march on through, it’s empowering
Why do I write? Ideas I’m devouring
The concept is a seed, give it water, now it’s flowering
Why is power something that the evil just must grab?
And why is freedom something that not all of us can have?
Why are people scared of views that differ from their own?
And why are we threatened by what’s foreign or unknown?
Why can’t we control the pain? We do it to ourselves,
Why do we care more about our iPhones than we do about our health?
And why do all opinions seem to fall on party lines?
And why even argue when we won’t change our minds?
