Well Why?

Folder: 
Thought For Food

why do you have to win,

when you can gain

why do you have to lose,

playing a game

why do you have to jump,

taking a dive

why kill yourself,

staying alive?



why hold your breathe,

for having it taken

why stop your heart,

because it's bleeding

because it's beating



you senseless

six senses

two for one

thinking too much



why do you have to grin,

under the daily grind

why always need a rush

in your coffee mug



why do you pray for change

someday

why do you say action,

still-framed

why punch the clock

and punch out your life

lifting your building blocks,

cubicles



(pyramids)



why hold your breathe,

to have it taken

why stop your heart,

because it's bleeding

because it's beating



you senseless

six senses

two for one

thinking too much



why don't you fight the wind,

when you shoot the breeze

why do you ask for war

to bring you peace

why do you have to trip,

to leap for faith

why make words brief,

for lengthy silence



well..

well think about it

i've just gotta ask you something



why do you wake up

to go to sleep

why do you eat the food

that leaves you starved

why do you feed the bull

your share of steak,

leave the bonechew cat

out in the rain?



why hold my breathe,

to have yours taken

why stop your heart,

because it's beating

because it's beating



you senseless

six senses

two for one

thinking too much

two for one

thinking too much

thinking not enough

well why?
