"Can I Ask You Something?" by Dwayne L. Williams

Why does the sky turn light blue on sunny days,

Grey on cloudy days, and dark blue at night?

Why do people cry, smile, and laugh?

And why is there such a thing called pain?

Sometimes, these things make me wonder.

About the law of nature and its way of life.

Why is there a negative for every positive

An up for every down

And bad for good?

How do I even know what’s the truth

And what’s a flat-out lie?

These are the questions that cross my mind.
