I Wonder…

I wonder why the day disappears
and the night comes with pointed spears
I wonder why the sun is hot
and the moon, a silver dot
I wonder why the stars twinkle
It’s colors so warm and simple
I wonder why the river flows
I wonder which way it goes
I wonder why the wind blows
Whispering things no one knows
I wonder why the clouds float
Sailing aimlessly, like a wrecked boat
I wonder why the birds fly
Under the endless, blue sky
I wonder why it rains
I wonder if it washes off all my pains
I wonder why sadness comes after happiness
Leading me to a trail of menace
I wonder why there is terror
I wonder why there is always a human error
I wonder why there is war unleashed
Feeding death a bloody feast
I wonder why there is hatred around
With hearts so empty and minds unsound
I wonder why people like to live in illusions
Eyes wide open but with so narrow visions
I wonder why people feel lonely
When there is no reason to be
I wonder why we forget to smile
I wonder why we always think of our troubles and cry out a Nile
I wonder why we cannot stay happy with what we have
But we keep asking for more and more every time
I wonder why we try to race against time
I wonder why we can’t live in simple bread and wine
I wonder why people are curious about others
I wonder why they cannot stay to themselves
I wonder why death is our only mortal fear
That leaves nothing but memories of pain and tears
I wonder …
