WHY
LIFE AND DEATH ARE ALL I SEE
IN THIS WORLD INSANITY,
ANOTHER PAGE GETS TURNED
LIFE AND DEATH SEEM SO REAL
STARING OUT THE LOOKING GLASS
LOST WITHIN MY THOUGHTS
TIME IS STANDING STILL
THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE
STARING AT THE SKY
STILL NOT AFRAID TO DIE
STILL THE QUESTIONS WHY
LIVING IN A WORLD
HAUNTED BY OUR SINS
PRAYING TO OUR GOD
STILL THE QUESTIONS WHY
WHY ARE WE ALIVE
WHATS BURIED DEEP INSIDE
STILL THE QUESTIONS WHY
STARING OUT THE WINDOW
THOUGHTS ARE RUNNING WILD
WHY ARE WE ALIVE
WHY MUST WE ALL DIE
TRAPPED WITHIN ARE SELVES
STILL THE QUESTIONS WHY...

The author encourages honest critique.
I get caught up in similar existential questions. I think there is an interesting distinction to make between living and being ALIVE. I feel that all humans live, but only some are able to constantly tap into being alive. I live in the past and in the future, but I am only ALIVE in the present. Just some thoughts inspired by your poem.
One suggestion: Personally, I would not use all caps as I find it a bit distracting and to me, it adds no value to your ink. If you were to use it on a select few lines to accent them and make them stand out, I think that would be a good use of caps... but obviously, if you like it, do you brotha!
Thanks for sharing!
