If the birds can’t fly so high <br /> Why should I also sigh? <br />If the clouds can’t hide the sun <br /> Why should I also run? <br />If the water doesn’t form ice <br /> Why should I pay the price? <br />If the trees don’t provide the shade <br /> Why should I also fade? <br />If the hills boast of their height <br /> Why should I go and fight? <br />If the ocean loses its wave <br /> Why should I go and save? <br />If the earth stops rotating <br /> Why should I be repenting? <br />If the winds can’t blow <br /> Why should I feel so low? <br />If the buds can’t sprout <br /> Why should I live in draught? <br />If the clocks can’t tick <br /> Why should I fall sick? <br />If the people forget to try <br /> Why should I go and cry? <br />If the love can’t exist <br /> Why should I go and resist? <br />If the hatred starts to dominate <br /> Why should I challenge the fate? <br />Whatever is happening is not at all fake <br />Try to understand it, atleast for my sake<br /><br />Sumeet Mukherjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-should-i-17/
