Help Me Understand


We can, but only try To understand the why The reason we exist Or how, we so persist Amongst the good or bad Within the joy or sad To love and fill with hope Or hate and only grope they willingness to share to help but wonder where love is the essence of our mere the existence learn to shun its resistance we traveled so far not to turn back now can't turn around when your hands on the plow so help me understand while living in a land that is so very mean through the isle of dicontent have we made a single dent why are the innocent found to be guilty where is our sense of mere dignity some say we are living in a foreign land filled with kings and queens in their evil schemes in time we shall shine the deep heart of love from straight help from above
