PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't understand the world today

The price some people would rather pay

For the stupid things they'll do and say

The shouting, the killing

The ton of blood is it really worth spilling?

The pain, the tears which many shed

Because of the life thoughtlessly led

The stealing, the lies

So many unfortunate good-byes

I don't understand why we do the things we do

The promises blew

Why do we fight?

Even when we know it's not right

Is it because we have lost all our insight?

I don't understand

The things that we do make me wonder

Will the things we do slow drag us under?

Is it the fault of everyone around?

Or is it ourselves that bring us painfully to the ground?

Are we all to blame for the faults of each other

This is a answer I have yet to discover

We are quick to point the finger at one who looks guilty

But are slow to judge those who linger

Facing innocent

Some don't think for themselves

And fallow as if on command

And this I don't understand

Why?

I don't understand.
