Why are you running so far, so fast? <br />What are you running from, may I ask? <br />I don't know, it's just something I must do <br />Those others are running, do you want to come too? <br /> <br />Why are you smoking so often, so deep <br />Surely that smoke stings your eyes, makes you weep <br />I don't know, it's just something I must do <br />Those others are smoking, do you want to smoke too? <br /> <br />You're all running, all smoking, but you don't know why <br />You just do it and do it, but it makes me cry <br />Because I don't like to see people themselves kill <br />When they don't know why but they do it still <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-are-you-running/
