How come?

This stormy night while I was lying around

Some howcomes sort of made a sound

How come we can't all be equal

How come our lives cant have sequels 

How come people always stare 

How come people never care

How come earth is filled with violence 

How come gunshots fill the silence 

And as I think of things that all went wrong

The how comes really sing a song

This was one I loved. I got to express what I think. I wrote this piece in My ELA class for a poetry anthology, I hope people will understand that horrible things will happen but songs always block the sound.
