Why is it the way to heaven
That's paved with the dead and the slaughtered,
Whilst the way to hell
Is paved in the flesh of the right and the just?
Why does no good deed goes unpunished
Whilst the wicked prosper and thrive?
Why do we demonise storms and thunder
While cheering and hailing the cancerous sun,
Why do we curse the rain and the flooding of the rivers
While praising the warmth and the drought?
Why do we abolish despotism and monarchy
Only to replace it with a system corrupt,
Why do we denounce war and violence
While we're the ones holding the knife to their neck?
Why do we call ourselves the good,
Those who oppose and different we name evil,
Why
Why
WHY?
