I Ask Myself Why Poem by edowaye omorogbe

I ask myself why? Are people
So blind. They don’t open their eyes
And try to strive, for the top which
As the prize, they instead refuse to rise.
Event though the world is so cold, there
Are opportunities to get that gold? But
Instead so many drug have been
Sold, cus men and woman feel it’s
The only way to stay on their feet
Can’t even walk down the street and
Ignore your heart beat, no it’s not
Fair a mother has to cry because she
Heard her son has died in a gang fight
There is no hope insight
The sun is up but no light shine
Instead of thinking about there crime
People bust up in other peoples house
And don’t take the time to think what if
These people were me, tired at being at war
Is there even a real reason anymore I gotta?
Say it’s a shame but who’s to blame
This country needs to be tamed
Innocent people being put on dial
Underage females on girl gone wild
Another less abused child being found.
