Forever Wondering
Some men remain conflicted,
some men are justly bad
Some men are deemed to stay confused,
some men forever sad
Some men will strive for fortune,
some other men for fame
Some men will choose to be alone
some live their lives in vain
Some men will cast their seeds
upon a desert hot and dry
Some men will start to questioning,
forever asking why
Some men to wile their time away,
lamenting where its gone
Some men to live entire lives,
not knowing right from wrong
Some men will cry when milk is spilt,
some men pick up the glass
Some men to try a different ilk,
molasses hardening fast
Some men will try to say hello,
wrapped in a last goodbye
Most men will die alone in bed
—forever wondering why
