Why ?

New roads being paved nearly every day;
as old ones have become obliterated;
landscapes keep changing in every way;
past lifetimes; completely incinerated.

Past meadows; long gone, many times over;
while new buildings replace all the old;
those meadows now filled with the latest clover;
as a new present completely unfolds;

All the schoolhouses filled with new students;
and many brand new teachers are there;
people everywhere embracing new movements;
and new others that don’t really care.

New records are set in all sports every day;
owners of old ones; nowhere to be found;
there’s always new players; coming to play;
and they’ve buried all past in the ground.

All lives come in waves of energy mists;
to experience and live for a season;
but after a while, goodbye they’re all kissed;
their purpose on earth lost its reason.

We don’t understand why God can forgive,
no matter what someone has done;
so we, ourselves, must live and re-live;
to know why He gave up His Son.

To live countless lives is to love and to hate;
and to learn how we would reply;
and once we experience how we relate,
we’ll have learned God’s answer to “Why?”
