"I'll Never Understand"
September 11th tragedy
I’ll never understand why people kill others,
Why they commit such ruthless and senseless acts.
I’ll never understand what would possess
A country to attack another in such a way.
I’ll never understand what’s in the mind of a terrorist,
Truth is, I don’t want to.
I’ll never understand why anyone would plunge to their own death
To destroy the thousands of people in those two towers.
I’ll never understand a lot of things,
And I won’t try to.
