WHY?

Woke up this morning

and in a split i asked;

Why?

Why are some consumed by suffering?





Walked round the country with the wind

The mortals looked on

with barely any heart warmth

The pot-bellied soul lay with its hand hanging up

A V-sign kept the fingers hopefully still

Why? I asked

Why can't anyone dry up the tears designing the angular faces?

How come the pleas aren't answered?





I sat up, high in the sky with

the thunderstorm

He said to me,

"why is that justified?"

A go ahead to the mosquito in

comfort taking more innocent blood!





At the end of the day,i settled with

the sunset in horror

Why weren't the questions answered?

The dusk swallowed the anguish

of mine soul

I wept for a moment.......

...for its all i could do

But still,somehow asked:

Whyyy....?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A poem about people suffering yet still their only hope is still taken away by their own elected  leaders!In many countries especially those of Africa funds are given to the suffering by different generous world bodies but are immediately embezzled by those in charge delivering them to the grass roots...so the suffering at the expense of the "mosquito"!This brings us to the highly corrupt world that only leaves the suffering with little hope(the fingures showing a V-sign).The question remains;"why is the world this much corrupt?" Its always an individual role to address this worldly problem of corruption,for if we don't care,who will?
