I have to ask and I need to know   I have to ask Why did so many people run in wolf packs Turn away To the misery of people everyday Turn their backs and just walk away As though they were dead prey Day after day Why did their evil  have to show Why did they stroll with no human coed Always traveling the nowhere roads Knowing and knowed I have seen Children hold out their hand Nothing it would land All I saw were people turn their head And Pretend that they did not see that someone had bled And That there were people that needed to be fed   I need to know...WHY? Did   People see only white or black Turning there backs on people that were black Yes, they did It is fact I need to know ...WHY? So many people let their love go and let it just fade away Turn their heads and just walk away Instead of facing the facts Of why their lives lacks I have to ask ..WHY?? People take their own lives Easily As though there was nothing to loose or Drown their lives in ***** Caused by so much abuse All we did was make up an excuse Near Death I have to ask and I have to know Are you going to keep turning your backs And hide into the black There is so much more I have to ask and I need to know Before I reach the day of my death. !!

Nearing Death
I have to ask and I need to know   I have to ask Why did so many people run in wolf packs Turn away To the misery of people everyday Turn their backs and just walk away As though they were dead prey Day after day Why did their evil  have to show Why did they stroll with no human coed Always traveling the nowhere roads Knowing and knowed I have seen Children hold out their hand Nothing it would land All I saw were people turn their head And Pretend that they did not see that someone had bled And That there were people that needed to be fed   I need to know...WHY? Did   People see only white or black Turning there backs on people that were black Yes, they did It is fact I need to know ...WHY? So many people let their love go and let it just fade away Turn their heads and just walk away Instead of facing the facts Of why their lives lacks I have to ask ..WHY?? People take their own lives Easily As though there was nothing to loose or Drown their lives in ***** Caused by so much abuse All we did was make up an excuse Near Death I have to ask and I have to know Are you going to keep turning your backs And hide into the black There is so much more I have to ask and I need to know Before I reach the day of my death. !!
