Asking God Why Poem by Billy Loving

Why are the clouds white in the sky?
Why do lions playfully fight?
Stars illuminate the night?
Why is the ice so cold?
Turtle growing so old?
Why does the grass cover the ground?
Bugs flying around?
Why are there fish in the sea?
Leaves on a tree?
Why is there so much sorrow?
A yesterday, today, and tomorrow?
Why are there tears streaming down?
The smile of a clown?
Why is there so much curiosity?
Too much complacency?
Answers unknown
Patiently listening from his throne
