Why? Poem by Savita Tyagi

Why?



A radio host places a prank phone call
Involved Monarchy and well being of a princess
Word gets out
Terrified nurse handling the call commits suicide…

A college student turns his room camera on
Wants to record his roommate's love making
The prank goes sour
Young gay man commits suicide…

A teenage girl gets harassed on inter net
Goes to her room and hangs her self…

Each folly brings an unpredictable fatal tragedy
World hears the news in shock
A senseless loss of life
Falls heavy on human consciousness
Volatile emotions
Stressed out workers
Disillusioned youth
Or stupid prank players

Some answers buried so deep
Dispensing disarray and confusion
All we find is a question mark
An outcry of why… Why?
And a brutal story of life
Repeating it self again and again.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Some stories are just so sad...

i've heard some of these stories. unfortunate, but perhaps the ones who ended up dead were not prepared for life. who/what is responsible for THAT? ! God, bad genes, not enough love in childhood? ? ? and the 'perpetrators'? they did not see the harm coming as a result of their actions? or shameless, cruel beings? again, who/what is to blame? the 'unprepared' and the 'poor-thinker' can be a fatal mix. but, sure, as long as we are so varied and there are pressures in life, it will most likely keep repeating. i'll think twice next time i'm going to scream to my wife: there is an axe-murderer at our front door! THEN i'll scream it out. bri :) (typical of me; i can't resist using a 'bad joke'.)

Thanks Bri. You are so right about the father mix of ' unprepared and poor thinker'. Though one can never be prepared for life since it keeps changing. Fast changes are much more harder to deal.
