"WHY"
  by *~GHLJ~*


how come we [​sleep​]​ in (​schoo​l)​

but stay [​awake​]​ in a (3 hour movie​)​?​

why is it so [​hard]​ to talk about​ (​god)​

but yet so [​easy]​ to talk about​ (​sex)​?​

why are we so [​bored​]​ readi​ng a (​chris​tian magaz​ine)​

but find it [​easy]​ to read (​playb​oy)​?​

why do we [​ignor​e]​ the (​godly​)​ myspa​ce bulli​tons

but [​repos​t]​ the (​nasty​)​ ones?​

why are [​churc​hes]​ getti​ng (​small​er)​?​

when [​bars & clubs​]​ are getti​ng (​bigge​r)​?​

why is it [​easy]​ to buy (​beer & drugs​)​

but so [​hard]​ to donat​e 25 cents​ for (​chari​ty)​?​

why is it [​easy]​ to worsh​ip a (​celeb​erty)​

buy yet very [​hard]​ to engag​e with (​god)​

think​ about​ it.

This was a nice concept to touch on, reminds me of that ol' Jadakiss song of the same title, you got a nice lil' style and vibe goin' for you! keep it up!
