Why

Why I wonder

Are the heights so rare

As I climb the stairs

Eliciting this awe

And this fear

Like walking on air

And Why

Do the depths below

Illicit such terror and despair

As if to burrow under

Is to dig your own grave

And supposedly only Heaven Saves

A Science

Set Tests and Proofs

Is that Good and Evil

All wrapped in a bundle of label

Babble Babel

Good

Bad

Evil

Sad

Truth

The Costs

Of Being a Man

Awash in a populace

Just trying to be Human
