Wondering.

I wonder if there was a cure to all diseases,

Would the government release such a powerful drug?

I wonder why people judge other countries –

We can’t even keep our own healthy and safe.

I wonder what a dying man’s last words are –

Are they arrogant or regretful?

I wonder why adult’s say that we’re not trying to change –

Why don’t they stop and listen to our ideas?

I wonder why all we talk about is peace –

But no one tries to contain it.

I wonder what doctors think after a patient dies –

Failure or opportunity?

I wonder why adults think they’re the voice of this nation,

They need to see that it’s the youth that are in control.

I wonder what’s making our generation give up –

Is it laziness, or fear of failing?

I wonder what makes someone feel truly happy –

And why they don’t share their secrets.

I wonder what it feels like to have the power to change almost everything –

Why isn’t he doing more?
