Life's mysteries

Simon from Ysgol Morgan Llwyd, Wrexham, submitted this poem which has prompted a debate about what's wrong with society today.

Why do bad things happen?
Why are there bad people and things in the world?
And how come they aren't all good things?
These are very important questions,
And no one knows the answers.
Nobody knows if there is any answer at all.
Why can't people live in peace and harmony?
Why can't the nations all be friends?
And white and black people live in peace?
Why are there wars?
Why do people suffer and die?
And who decides all this?
Is there a God?
Is there a Heaven?
Is there life in space and other planets?
And if there is will we make contact?
Why do people want to hurt each other?
Which religions are right and which are wrong?
No one has answered these yet,
Can you?
