Why is Everything So Heavy
Why the taxes so high, yet the pockets stay thin?
Why we working from dawn, still can’t barely win?
Price tag rising like smoke in the heat of the sun,
While the wages stand frozen, refusing to run.
We pay for the roads, pay for lights, pay for rain,
Pay for breathing, it feels like a modern-day chain.
Every bill is a threat, every meal is a test,
Trying hard just to live, not even to rest.
They say it’s for order, for progress, for care,
But the weight always lands on the ones unaware.
While the rich find the loopholes, slip out of the trap,
The poor count their coins just to stay on the map.
Why must survival feel bought and sold?
Why is comfort a dream only granted in gold?
We’re humans, not numbers, not lines on a sheet,
Yet life costs a fortune just to stay on our feet.
So we ask in the silence, in stress and in pain,
Who benefits most from this economic strain?
Because a system that feeds while the people still cry
Needs more than an answer, it needs a why.
