I Don't Understand

I don’t understand,

Why is there war,

Country against country,

State against state,

Brother against brother,

Sister against sister,

Color against White,

Aren’t we all the same?

I don’t understand,

Why the young couple,

Love too soon,

Creates life too fast,

Leave for grandparents to raise,

While the young ones party away,

Is there no shame?

I don’t understand,

Why crime rate goes high,

While the brain cells slowly die,

Can’t look up from your game?

See that mother cry in pain,

That man just stole $20 bucks today,

Oh no…I forgot to check Snapchat!

Where is mind set?

I don’t understand,

Why our voting views went down,

“Make America Great Again!”

Is that all it takes,

A few sweet words,

No action to show change,

For better,

Not for worst,

Let me see…

Trump is the best choice!

Where is more options?

I don’t understand,

We all scream for a change,

Yet everything stays the same.
