Why so desperate for closure?
Why so obsessed with why?
Are we really getting any closer?
To protecting our next to die!
Wasting minds speculating
Gunning for motives unclear
It’s much safer ruminating
Than looking for truth in the mirror
Righteous firearm legislating
Licenses but symptom relief
Until we slay senseless hating
We’re damned to recycling grief
The question of why’d he do it?
Searches for answer’s wrong face
The question of why do WE do it?
Moves us toward healing and grace…
For we’re the terrorists with weapons
Killing bodies and spirits alike
A nation blind to fate’s lessons
It is WE who must answer to why!
