Why Is It So 

Zarum

The children wonder and hope to find 

They try to reach out for some kind 

But all around the people stare 

The children just want a little care 

 

And you who’ve lived six score or more 

And you who flesh and blood did bare 

Must surely gaze out at the sight 

Of all the youth, amassed in fright 

 

And know that in your hands did lay 

The power sent to find a way 

But through neglect or lack of sense 

Have left us all so frightened and tense 

 

I don’t know 

Why is it so? 

Tell me why 

I really want to know 

 

And all the nights we’ve wondered stray 

And all the days we’ve slept away 

For if a purpose still exists 

On chartered course befell a mist 

 

And in the rubble of glass and stone 

Is left a child to stand alone 

To wonder through the land made bare 

And stumble on the grave of care 

 

I don’t know 

Why is it so? 

Tell me why 

I really want to know 


And for all the minds that concieve to decieve

With filled disgust I take my leave

And wonder through the land made bare

To stumble on the grave of care
