Why Poem by Alice Holmes

Is this all there is?
A place with no hope and dreams
with only that speak of hope that nobody can reach out to
but then now
yes now
there is something there

A place where faith is something that is all around you
dreams that grow large and full happily on trees
and hope that is given out daily to everyone on the island
But why?

Is it because we have a second chance?
If so, do we disserve it?
We have caused pollution and violence
hate and greed
and of cause death.

But we also have created love and devotion
Hope and dreams
charities and volunteers
that help and make peoples lives easier from the pain and hardship

But is that enough?
All we can ask ourselves is....
Why?
