Why?

Why is it some people only change
When you hit them in the wallet
And others, when they are accused,
Continue to soul search and fret?

Why is it that some only learn
To obey the laws of life
When they are put in prison
To experience that strife?

Why do we make excuses for
The most privileged and wealthy,
Those who have the education
In how to be most stealthy?

Why do we continue
To sell our immortal souls
To those whose only god
Is the pursuit of more gold?

Nobody likes a loser,
But it is plain to me,
It's time to take the planks
Off our eyes, so we can clearly see.
