"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.
