The title is why

WHY IS THE QUESTION? MAY BE THE ANSWER ATO THIS QUESTION IN THIS LIFE. WHY IS OUR BROTHER LOCKED UP IS THE QUESTION? WHY IS OUR BABY FATHERS, BROTHERS, COUSINS, UNCLES, NEPHEWS, FRIENDS, LOVERS, AND PROTECTOR OF ALL LOCKED DOWN: WHY, BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO BE DOWN WITH STYLES;DOWN WITH THE BOYS. IS THAT WORTH ALL THOSE YEARS? THAT IS THE QUESTION!OUR MEN ARE ALL LOCKED DOWN BY THIS SYSTEM WE CALL PENATENTARY. OUR WOMEN ARE LEFT TO FEED THE LITTLE ONES AND CARRY ON THE ROLE OF OUR GOOD ONE. ONE MAN HAS THE CHANCE TO CHANGE THE WORLD WITH A SINGLE THOUGHT, BUT WHERE ARE OUR MEN! LOCKED DOWN. WHY? BECAUSE SOCIETY DOES NOT SEE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE, JUST WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. I TELL YOU BROTHERS OF ALL NATIONALLITY. I HEAR YOU CRY OUT IN PAIN OF THE HURT YOU KEEP INSIDE. I SEE YOU ON THE OUTSIDE WITH A STANCE; TRYING TO BE THAT MAN; THAT MAN THAT WOULD IF HE COULD BE THERE IF HE CAN.

I like it--very powerful message- i think you should try writing one about that change you talk about too--id be interested to read it--

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
