Why?

Answer my questions
Tell not a lie
Answer my questions
Tell me why
What's dark is night
What's bright is day
What's sad is bad
and what's good is gay
Why the door is open
but never walked thru
Why people are bored
when there is plenty to do
Why no one listens
but everyone hears
Why people are scared
Why we have fears
Why we learn about the past
when what's said is done
Why we worry about the future
when it has yet to come
Why trees make leaves
but drop them to the ground
Why dogs run from home
and end up in the pound
Why depression can be hidden
by a laugh and a smile
and the scars never fade
even after awhile
Why be jealous?
Why cry?
Always my friends,
Always ask Why?
