Why were we born
Original Submission by Aysha Hiba
Why were we born?
Why were we born
if we were not to do as we wish
Why were our souls created
if it were to just obey
The rules set by society
Why were we born
if we were just to do as society says
just to be puppets
played by everyone else
but ourselves
Why were we born
And taught to do as society says
when minds were capable for more
when our minds
had the ability to choose
