the soft wind blows on me
making me feel
that all of the world is full of glee
but ones thoughts cant always be right
the rose i once saw
went out of sight
as i child i always wondered
why there were bad men
why people suffered
but as i grew up i understood
the evil men were no worse than the good
they were only bad against circumstance
not because of their own character
only because of their chance
to live in a cold place
to grow up with hate
we never would know
how to relate
we just blame them
and curse their souls
because we can never even
think to explain
all of their problems in life
all of the anger of their lonely lane
we cannot hope to sympathesize
to the thief or murderer who ruined our lives
but if we can love instead of hate
can this problem be set straight?
questions we can only ask
we may never know the answer to
forevermore
