Why???

When I wake up each day, I try to make sure I say

Thank you Lord for each blessed day

I wish that could be the same for others to say
But instead, I see people pay
The ultimate price just for a slice of a decent life

I see pain, strife, depressing forms of life that bring me down
I can't help but frown when I see terminal illness, homelessness, foodlessness-hunger, sickness it makes me wonder...why??

Why do we suffer so brutally? Why is there so much smoke in the city?
Why do we lie, cheat, steal, kill?? Is it THAT much of a freakin thrill??

Where's the money to provide food for the hungry? Where's the sincerity in all these churches and charities?

Instead of glorifying drugs and crooks, we should be praising education, health, peace and reading books.

Why have material possessions become our ultimate obsession? In this current recession, there is no objection to the taxation of the working class nation, but the well-established continue to live lavish!

This world has become so ravaged and pure savage.  People take advantage and then rampage when their way is not given. What is wrong with this world we live in?

Can someone answer me????
