Curious Minds
I sometimes wonder
Why we’re here
Unlike the rolling of thunder
It wasn’t made clear
People take advantage
Of what they have
They sometimes pretend
Things aren’t that bad
They ignore the facts
Proven every day
Even some people
Take their lives away
But there’s still the others
That were meant to live
They had so much to tell
So much to give
Unborn babies
So helpless and small
Never given the chance
To see the blue sky that covers us all
People arguing
Almost every day
Mostly about things
That don’t matter anyway
From all these words spoken
I have learned one thing
Promises aren’t made to be broken
For I know what they’d bring
