Why?
Why do we stand aside?
Why do we let this world burn?
We wave flags and post on social media
We talk a great game
But how many of us actually do
How many take a stand and lend a hand?
And how many just sit
And say
“Gosh, what a bad thing”
“Dang, that sucks”
“Wow that’s horrible”
And five seconds later it washes away
Like a sand mural on a beach
Why do we not even try?
Why do we say “we are behind you!”
Be we are thousands of miles away
Or worse
Not even there at all
Why do we not help?
Why do we not actually stand behind this people
These people who are hurting
And not even pat them on the back
Ask yourself
Why?
Why-? was written by sakazuki.
The meaning of “Why-?” by sakazuki is about how humans stand aside while the world hurts. It’s about motivating people to stand up for others instead of feeling sorry for a few seconds and than shrugging and moving on.
Another assignment for my school days. We had to make a poem on protesting and I was like “UGH”. However, I soon got into it more and more and this is the product! I will probably edit and add more later.
