Rural Reflections: 'Because'

“Because,” a simple word we use, though when we are asked a question we just simply respond with it because we either have no answer or we’re too afraid to give the answer we have.
"I wanted to write this,
because I had time.
The eye was slanted,
ignorance, bliss and wine.
Right hands were frantic,
and left hands love lies.
Because they can chant it,
march in protest on these crimes.
Because the devil loves this,
if we are to choose our sides.
I believe in free will,
but only passed the bloom.
I guess they’ll wanna kill,
store my feelings in gloom.
They’re spinning a fire wheel,
they’re bringing a panic room.
Because we keep scaring them,
showing war and an exit wound.
Because we’re divided,
we need a prayer I presume.
To save us from ourselves,
from what we consume."
