Tell Me Why

This is something I've just written. I think it needs a little work but I'm pleased. Tell me what you think.


Tell Me Why

Times are changing
People rearranging
What their morals used to be

Thoughts are dirty
Overly exploiting
All the things that once were private

Children are harmed
Ruined innocence
By verbal and physical abuse

Tell me why, oh why
Do we let the evil in
Tell me why, oh why
Do we give into dreadful sins
Tell me why, oh why
Do the men harm woman
Tell me why, oh why
Woman don't protect their kids
Tell me why

Murder ensued
Seeded from many horrid things

Cheating embraced
Caused by lust and greed

Abuse used
Meant for control and cruelty

Rape forced
Used for humiliation and control

Tell me why, oh why
Do we let the evil in
Tell me why, oh why
Do we give into dreadful sins
Tell me why, oh why
Do the men harm woman
Tell me why, oh why
Woman don't protect their kids
Tell me why

Guns used to defend
Cause the people are scared
To walk upon darkened streets

Crooks get away
Cause the law is paid off
And no one listens to us

Earth is being broken
Being made into it's own dump
We have to clean up for our sake

Children are dying
Of starvation, malnutrition and disease
We have to help to survive

But we let selfishness take over
The good is forgotten
Hope begins to fade
Cause of us human's fatal mistakes

Tell me why, oh why
Do we let the evil in
Tell me why, oh why
Do we give into dreadful sins
Tell me why, oh why
Do the men harm woman
Tell me why, oh why
Woman don't protect their kids
Tell me why

You don't help make a change
