Why do people do bad things

why do they want to hurt

almost like a need to sting

to control their patch of dirt

what caused them to behave this way

was their childhood not colorful

clearly bathed in black and plain gray

sad to think of life being so gullible

it's not fair what life throws at you

is it a game, just a role of the dice

to determine if you win or loose

or to be really nasty or really nice

this game of life is hard to play

all the rules are not the same

a wrong move can lead you astray

a mistake can bring you shame

why do people do bad things

the wrong path was chosen,

and they too lost their wings

incapable of change just frozen.
