Wonder Why?

Is it really any wonder
we are so confused?

Ever wonder why.......
Our mothers swallowed a seed
But they don't tell us fully
How we got inside her belly?

Ever wonder why.......
Tooth fairy brings us money
God and Jesus squads on Sundays
No jobs and no hopes
Education system's a joke
A boogeyman hides in wardrobes
Go to sleep or a scary one will come?

Ever wonder why.......
Toys come from a stranger called Santa Clause
Elf's, magic dust and unicorns
Fairytales and garden gnomes
No sleep or no toys left at your home?

Ever wonder why.......
Fairies tidy up your room
Living in gardens in bloom
Easter Bunnies and rabbits
Replaced for a man who died,
then came back to life?

Ever wonder why.......
Guy Falkes - remember, remember your money goes up into the nethers
The best nights still yet to come
Ghouls, ghosts and all other freak shows
They call it Haloween
Trick or treat - money or sweets?
On Friday the thirteenth
Burned at the stake for a French King's mistake
Now our world has truly become all fake.

Ever wonder why.......
Our mother and fathers
Grandparents and others
Become our heroines and hero's?
But when we know more
then they had let on before
Is it any wonder why we feel so unsure?

Find your own reasons and truths
Gather your own ideas and proof
Don't always believe what your told
Use your own brain - you decide,
Then you may just wonder why.......?

Expertly done!!! :) That's one of my favourites of yours :)

@Weirdwolf thank you. I have been toying with this idea for a while now since @pneumothorax made a post ages ago titled "Warped Perspective Of The Young" lol. :-)

@smellyfingers it's really good and provocative :)

First class young man πŸ‘

@smellyfingers going to be hi

@smellyfingers Fucks sake stupid send button! I'm going to be honest, it's not your best, it felt really messy and jumbled, needs sharpening, then your message will come across a lot clearer too. Tighten the lines, rhyme better and just tidy the whole thing up a bit :) sorry, just my opinion!

@TheViolator thank you :-)

@meganelisabeth hey that's ok hun. Maybe would sound better to music? The rhyme pattern I can see what you mean but I didn't want it repeat a beat, if that makes sense? Thank you for your honesty ;-)

@smellyfingers I like it, it's good to wonderπŸ˜„

Especially why

Thank you @Stablish I agree it's good to ask questions but I often wonder about those who give answers. Sometimes it's easier to lie or bend the truth but, easier for me or them? Lol

@smellyfingers Them, if you don't know what's going on you won't have questions to look for answers.

Lol people say life's a test do guess it wouldn't be a test if we knew all the answers 😊 I always wonder curiosity is good 😘

Wondering is healthy and honest. Not looking for the answers is the crime.

This is really good... But curiosity killed the cat ;)

The best of smellyfingers ;S

@smellyfingers fantastic. I will be sharing with my students.

@aleishagayle20 @jojo72 thank you both :-)

@lonelynutmeg98 lol thanks ;-)

@powpunch ?? Students? Sharing?? My poems?? Lmfao :-)

@smellyfingers I hope you don't mind... It's just that we were having a discussion a few days ago about questioning beliefs and learning about different religions, so I was thinking of 'casually' hanging your poem on the classroom inspiration board. MOUAHAHAHAHA

@powpunch sure is all good, if you think it appropriate. Will you put "smellyfingers" as author? You may get some weird questions tho, lol ;-) xx

@smellyfingers yeah, like, what kind of smell Dana? And I'll just say, hmmm cigarettes maybe?... You can count on their dirty little minds to challenge the definition of smelly. Now I'm looking forward to it.

@smellyfingers cool, understood :) sometimes I just want a poem to seem raw like that too, stops it being so neat! X
