Forever Wondering Why

Some men remain conflicted,

  some men are justly bad

 

Some men are deemed to stay confused,

  some men forever sad

 

Some men will strive for fortune,

  some other men for fame

 

Some men will choose to be alone

   some live their lives in vain

 

Some men will cast their seeds

  upon a desert hot and dry

 

Some men will start to questioning,

  forever asking why

 

Some men to wile their time away,

  lamenting where its gone

 

Some men to live entire lives,

  not knowing right from wrong

 

Some men will cry when milk is spilt,

  some men pick up the glass

 

Some men to try a different ilk,

  molasses hardening fast

 

Some men will try to say hello,

  wrapped in a last goodbye

 

Most men will die alone in bed

  —forever wondering why
