WHY! Why are we here in this world full of woe,
What is the purpose of life.
Why do men hate each other so,
Causing the struggle and strife.
Our years are but few as we go on life's way,
Enduring the tears and the pain.
Deceit and evil we see every day,
All adding to stresses and strain.
Why? Then oh why! Do we live with this sin,
Surely one day it must end.
When will all men start to begin,
Treating each other as a friend.
If all mankind knew the meaning of love,
What a wonderful world this would be.
Instead of the eagle, the peaceful white dove,
Showing that all men are free.
No killing, no wars, no greed and no hate,
All living together as one.
So take heed brothers before it's too late,
And this life, as we know it has gone. Mr L Leak, Moss Bank Way, Bolton
