I Don't Understand
I don't understand
Why children die
Why everyone lies
Why parents say goodbye
But more than anything
Why people think the truth doesn't matter
Why no one stands up for the weak
Why people change from good to evil
Why people think money matters the most
However, I do understand
Why you can never stop dreaming
Why the best might not be good enough
Why love is all you need
Why fear...makes you strong.
Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
