Question Poem


By Brittney Beard


What is love?
How do you define it?
Why can’t my family get along?
How could my dad not be there for me?
Why is our economy so messed up?
Should we even have a government?
Why did Bush even get a chance to become president?
Why can’t I be rich?
Has it ever occurred to you that you are simply a jealous person?
Why do people kill others over the most silliest things?
Is it really that necessary?
Why so many haters?
Do people love just to get hurt in the end?
Why are so many teens getting pregnant nowadays?
Have they not heard of safe sex?
Why do most boys only want sex from a girl?
How come they don’t have feelings?
Why does it seem like black people are the only race that don’t stick together?
What is a true friend?
Why is it that my mom has to take care of us all on her own?
Why don’t some people want to see Barack win?
Why am I so risky?
Is Lil Wayne really the best rapper alive?
Why did my best friend have to die?
My great grandmother too?
Why does it seem like 2008 is the worst year ever?
Why do people take things for granted?
Would my boyfriend really do anything for me?
Does he love me that much?
Why is it that he gets little attitudes for no reason?
Why does he like to rap so much?
How long are we going to last?
