I don’t understand
Why we can’t have morality without dictating religion.
Why we can’t have differences without hatred.
Why we can’t have disagreements without belittlements.
Why we can’t love a higher spirit, but each in our own
way.
Why we can’t feed the homeless but can rebuild the
world.
Why we can’t find charity for our neighbors but can
pray for a stranger.
Why we can’t see our own faults but can so easily find
them in others.
Why we can’t see the good but so readily point out the
bad.
I don’t understand
Why love doesn’t return the gift of generosity.
Why we profess to value honesty then lie to protect
ourselves.
Why success can’t be won without deceit.
Why we abuse the world but cherish possessions.
Why profit means more than the method that achieves
it.
Why what people say
isn’t what they mean.
I don’t understand
Why we complain more about what we don’t have instead
of seeing what we’ve already been given.
Why we want so much when it’s usually the simple
things that make us happy.
Why we try to be someone and something we aren’t
instead of celebrating who we truly are.
Why we aren’t more thankful for the people
in our lives instead of the things in our lives.
