I want to know why?
A poem based on a writer’s prompt
I want to know why …?
birds fly.
fish swim.
water flows.
people cry.
I want to know why…?
you are sad.
why you smile.
what turns you on.
what turns you off.
I want to know why…?
people gather in hate.
throw stones in glass houses.
love their pets, but not their neighbours.
I want to know why…?
People laugh till they cry.
fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
a rising tide lifts all boats.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
