What're your questions for the world?

EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE SITE:

Hey! This blog is about asking questions that're on my mind or that people may ask me. These are not little questions really and they can have multiple answers so feel free to answer them as you see fit. The whole point of the site is to have people think about the world and the way things are. If you don't agree with something I've said tell me why with a comment (you have to have a google account), but please don't use that as a way to be obnoxious. Everything is pretty much up in the air when it comes to what you think and how you feel about something so I can't really set down any guidelines other than don't be too judgmental of another comment or of something I may have said.

Stay open-minded and hear people out. =]

Hope you enjoy and don't criticize what I'm trying to say too harshly. Although of course I'm open to criticism and debates. =]

Also...Email me @: tomiahayes@yahoo.com if you have a question you'd like to have posted on the site. Remember they have to be versatile and have many possible answers and they can't be...child-ish.

Why: [A Poem]

Why does hunger spread throughout our nations
But we all have time for feasts and celebrations?
While people all over starve night after night
And to make matters worse they're in our line of sight
Yet we all aren't moved to be good people
Most are greedy and don't consider beggars equal
So why does hunger continuely spread?
Because we don't make sure every person is fed.

Why are we at war when we have no need to be
Sending our troops as sacrifices willingly?
Violence isn't the answer but it always comes to that
Like as if we enojoy losing family memebers to combat
But we sit back and do nothing, the outcome unknown
Convincing ourselves that everyone will come home
Why do we torture outselves so deeply when we don't have to?
'Cause the saying has always been "monkey see monkey do."

Why does money seem to be the "key" to life?
And every person malipulated by a payer's price?
Money causes the most problems the world suffers from
But money really has no value, and has made us become
A bunch of mindless beings controlled by dollar signs
Letting the amount we have ultimately define
The world we live in and this shouldn't be the case
Why have we made the world such a horrible place?

This is a poem I wrote about "Why" and I think it really asks some difficult questions for people who don't see the bigger picture...Do you understand?
