WHY?

As the darkness rises
And the sun sets in the west
Behind those tall skyscrapers,
A life full of promises
Lies quietly in rest
As lifeless as lepers.

To think of what happened
And what happens now
My heart is filled with doubt –
Has the world so darkened
That it does not know how
Pain makes her cry out?

Did you see your reflection
In the cold grey metal
And think of the pain?
Didn’t you have indecision
When you knew it might be fatal?
What could you hope to gain?

But she will brave it all
For we all pray for her –
Her heart so young and pure.
She fights on withal
As love gives up never –
Hate must perish and Love endure.
