What's this for?

by Sweet lig   Jun 30, 2006


What is love for?
when you end up in tears
what is courage?
when you fight your tears
whats the use of hope burning like candle light?
when its blown away by the despair of the night!

what is smile for?
when deep inside envy is grinning their trying to hide
whats the use of peace and prosperity?
when u think of war as a good remedy.

what is life for given by god above?
when you don't know how to love
whats the use of time running out fast?
when you waste your time regretting the past.

whats the use of humility in your heart?
when pride and greed is tearing you a part
what is cleanliness for?
when everything is a mess
why do we always pretend?
instead of thinking and trying to comprehend.
