Why? Poem by MASIREH sanyang

Why do people harm each other
Pretending they helping the other.
WHY?
Why do people kill in the name of religion
WHY?
Why does the labourer work so hard
Yet receives minimum wages
I call this professional slavery
and yet their employers talk to them in a tone of blustery.
WHY?
Why do people smile outside
whilst they hate inside
WHY?
Why does the strong
oppress the weak
and the rich getting richer
the poor getting poorer
WHY?

Why is it that the powers that be
Abuse those they instead have to protect
Why does the poor suffers and no one listen to there plea
Why does the begger yearn for respect
WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why is the rich treated with preference
And the poor in arrogance.
WHY?
