Why?*
Perhaps the most often asked question out there
Why?
When it's asked we simply draw a blank look, questioning the reason for the word to be said, or simply wondering as to what is the speaker asking about.
"Why?"
We look around, thinking to ourselves, 'Is this really happening?' hoping the question will quit being asked.
'Why'
Why is it. That when an innocent child asks this question, as their parents lay dead nearby after a fatal accident...all we can do is look on
And:

Instead of answering the child.
We lie.
Instead of telling the real reason.
We weave a false tale.
But still the question shall remain.

"Why did they die?"
