I know why!
Frustration when you're stuck in traffic
Nothing has meaning, safer being stoic
Food costs keep rising
Leaving us clueless--now we're surmising
I know why

I know why
Stopped by the cops for no reason
Same cop? Just a different season
Fruit and veg. Rotten in two days
Is the farmer at fault, or this the new way?
I know why

I know why
The Medication kills faster than the disease
Doctor knows best!! People please
Plight after plight, it never seems to end
Family getting on your nerves, no more best friend
I know why

I know why--
The caged bird Sings, with joy in his heart
The prisoner freed, doesn't want to depart
I know why

I know why
The ends just don't meet
Dollars don't stretch, and sugar not sweet
I know why

I know why
The meat is infected
The elderly not respected
Husbands and wives feel rejected
Kids are purposely neglected
I know why

I know why
You reach for the gun,
The pain killers are the pun
Those left behind seem stunned
While your cold lifeless body is no longer shunned
I know why

I know why
Then I Don't know why!!
It makes me sad
It makes me cry
Still I know why.....
