    Why

     Why do good people die and bad people live

    The bad ones only take and the good people give

    It's as if there are no gods only devils

    I want to understand it, even on some minor level

    I know life isn't fair

    But why do the gods not care

    That the innocent ones suffer through it

    While the evil ones always profit

    If we are the gods children

    Then why do they permit this

    Evil runs rampant in our streets

    And it seems like the gods just turn the other cheek

    You make some interesting points. My question is, why is it that when most try to display strength, weakness is all I see?

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
