"Why"

Why don’t I laugh

When a fool who acts tough

Falls in the rough?

Why does it sadden

Why am I befallen

It’s not me being harmed

Why am I alarmed?

He deserved such a crime,

But I feel like grime.

I never knew him truly

He hurt my friend badly

I was taught to treat others well

Never watch them swell

Than to explode in pain

Am I suppose to see that gain?

What’s right?

It’s not alright!
