Why Bother To Try

  
"Why Bother To Try"

Are we knowing?
Are we wise?
Are we deserving,
Of the prize?

The Prize.
What does that mean?
As this world wipes away,
All of our dreams.

Why should we hope?
Why should we dream?
Why force silence,
In lieu of screams?

Why force a smile,
When we want to cry?
Why put forth the effort?
Why bother to try?
